Is there a way to make a photo black and white and have one or 2 items in it colored?

Thank you

Try this-

Convert the photo globally to B&W

Then Select the Brush Tool and turn on the 'Color' switch. Now select a color to 'paint' from the color picker panel

For something like this-

(In Lr-Classic, it is possible to De-saturate the entire photo -100, then Brush back the Saturation with +100. Something I cannot do in v4.1)

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .
