All you would need to do is use a saturated brush, moving the saturation all the way left, and brushing across the pic. It will turn anything you touch with it b*w and leave what you dont in color. Lightroom is a great photomanaging software. CS is more for heavy duty work. Lightroom will help you greatly in adjusting your pics and also converiting raw into jpeg. I use it a love it! kekoa wrote in post #8286314 i've asked before, but never got a clear answer. Is lightroom 2 or Element most similar to DPP? I tried cs3 once and almost blew a fuse w/ all the options and modules. I just want something that can convert from raw to jpg and has capabilities of DPP, but better.  ps: I'd really like to learn the affect whereby you make one item in the pic color and the rest B&W. I think this is layering? thanks -Omar- Flickr

Now, i'm thinking of either some type of PP program like lightroom 2 or Elements. Maybe some sandisk memory cards and a nice tripod? Help!!! Still learning
