OR
make a copy of that layer
do BW on that layer
keep it underneath the colored layer and just erase from the top layer down
if that made any sense.
probably easiest explanation

thats all i did

i tried it and it came out weird

[bryantiscool]

if you use the brush that has like the diffused edges with the eraser tool, the edges that you erase become soft and doesnt look choppy.

layers ftw, learn to use them itll save you lots of trouble

speaks the truth

[SlowLS]

maybe im not using the right tool, cause its still coming out shitty

[die in a dick fire noob]

or maybe it's a technique that is easy if you've done it a million times... if you're new you can't just jump in and be a whiz dude...

post what yours look like and we can try to help you fix them...

In lightroom you can turn off colors and just leave Red on thats the easiest way but it will allow all reds to stay. Learn to use layers its your best friend once you know how to use them...
