| in a b+w image of a wedding, the rose petals (100's) being strewn by
the wedding party folks were red and white; how did he do this
(without isolating each rose petal and masking the b+w conversion)?

Masking is really necessary in the end, but you can get a good start by
using SELECT COLOR.

Er, who be "he", and where's a link to "his" image?? Selection by color
may have been used, maybe not. It'd help to view the picture.

I'd suspect that photo might have originally have been in colour...

OK, let's assume that the original is a color photograph. Use Select Color,
then Invert Selection. At that point, a bit of clean up is likely needed for
the Selection (Q for Quick Mask). Once the "inverted" Selection is perfect,
one could use one of several techniques to convert the rest of the photograph
to Grey Scale.
