Tutorial: How to change your color image to black and white

Posted on March 9 by Clay

This is a simple tutorial to demonstrate how to change a  color photo to a stunning black and white image.

1. Fire your Photoshop and open up the color image. I will use these two ‘things’ in the cup XD

2. Choose Layer –> New Adjustment Layer –> Hue/Saturation and set the Blending Mode to Color and click ‘OK’.

3. Choose Layer –> New Adjustment Layer –> Hue/Saturation and leave the Blending Mode to Normal. Set the Saturation to -100 Click ‘OK’. Now you should have two Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layers.

5. The ‘Hue’ slider is what makes it all happen-move it around to see how the conversion reacts. You can also boost the saturation to make the effect more drastic.
