Once you do the basic
color improvements such as the ones in our
touch-ups tutorial, here's what you
do: 1. Create a new Channel
Mixer Adjustment layer (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Channel Mixer).
2. Then click
to check the box that says Monochrome to make the picture black and
white (but don't click OK yet).
3. You may
want to adjust the weights of each color in the black white
configuration depending on the picture, then when it looks good to
you click OK.
4. Then make a duplicate of your
first layer (the layer containing the picture, not the adjustment
layer), make sure you have the right layer selected when you try to
make the duplicate. (Layer>Duplicate Layer).
5. Then move the
duplicate layer above the channel mixer layer by clicking on it and
dragging it. 6.
Then while you still have that layer selected, change it's mode from
Normal to Overlay. After you made those changes your
layers should look something like this.
Your picture should now look like its somewhere between color and
black and white. If it looks a little too intense try
downing the opacity on the top layer a little bit to let more of the
black and white through. |
