Converting a color image to black and white
You can get great results converting a color image to black and
white (with or without a tint) in Photoshop.
1.
Choose File > Open, and navigate to the bike.tif file in the
Lesson02 folder. Click Open.
2.
In the Adjustments panel, click the Black & White button to
add a Black & White adjustment layer.
3.
Adjust the color sliders to change the saturation of color chan-
nels. You can also experiment with options from the preset
menu, such as Darker or Infrared. Or, select the tool in the up-
per left corner of the Adjustments panel, and then drag it
across the image to adjust the colors associated with that area.
(We darkened the bike itself and made the background areas
lighter.)
4.
If you want to add a tint to the photo, select Tint. Then, click
the color swatch and select a tint color (we used R=227,
G=209, B=198).
