Lightroom users- how can I do this?
I want to make a picture entirely B&W, except leave the color in one object. I've seen it done before, but not sure if they were using Lightroom or not.
Thanks.

I'm pretty certain, it won't work with LR... You need to use Photoshop (or similar). Create a layer on top (copy the background) and cut a piece out (the area you want to have the colors)... then turn that layer B&W.

Use GIMP, free opensource. Create a duplicate layer, kill the saturation, then erase what you want to be in color.

google "selective desaturation". it will provide you with many tutorials.

At the bottom of the development panel, there is a tab with saturation, luminosity, and hue. Couldn't you just lower the saturation on the channels other than your subject?

This one i did in photoshop. Basically masked what i didn't want b&w and desaturated the rest of the image.
This one I desaturated the entire image and colored the bow in a duplicate layer
This is about a few minutes of effort desaturating some clors and oversaturating other colors in Lightroom, you can create some interesting effects. This is very easy to do in the develop panel

The best way I've found is to work from two images. Develop one for B&W and one in color. I do this with RAW images but that's not required. Then in Photoshop you place the images on top of each other in layers and use a layer mask to show only the areas of color you desire. It's a gimmick and more often than not it does little to help an image. IMHO.
