Lightroom

I just download the trial version of lightroom...how do you have a black and white picture with something staying in color?

you can't do that in Lightroom. You can do split tonning, but not selective color. That requires photoshop. Lightroom is for whole image editing, not selective areas

You use the HSL "tab" in the right-hand panel, just desaturate all the colours you don't want. Great tutorial here (http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blog/2007/04/selective_desaturation_with_li_1.html).
Or there are some great recipe presets that have selective colours to download from here (http://www.ononesoftware.com/photopresets-wow.php).

Hope this helps :D

You sure can, I have done it and there are great video tutorials for it here (http://ononesoft.vo.llnwd.net/o1/photopresets/full/PhotoPresets_Video.html).

that kinda works, but if theres the same color in a different area it won't

Ah yes, good point, I guess in that case you'd need full Photoshop
