The Effects Editor opens on the "Effects" tab, just what we want; Click on number 3, "Color"; Select the "Image Correction CPU" effect (6th from the left).

Change the setting for selective saturation (here I have kept the color "Cyan" at 100, the others are at -100); You immediately see the results of your settings in the preview window.

Multiple possibilities: your child is following someone with a wonderful flower in hand, only the flower is "illuminated"...
