In this Photoshop tutorial, we’ll show you six different ways to convert any color image to black and white using Photoshop on Mac or Windows. ..

How to Make an Image Black and White

  1. Use a photo editor to adjust the colors and brightness to get the desired result.
  2. Use a black and white converter to create a black and white image.
  3. Use a scanner to take digital photos of your color image and convert them into black and white.
  4. Use an online photo editor to adjust the colors and brightness of your images, then save them as black and white files.
  5. Take digital photos of objects in your home or office, then convert them into black and white using a photo editor or black & white converter.
  6. Print out your color images on transparency paper, then cut out the sections that are in black & white using a sharp knife

Method 1: Use Grayscale

The new Photoshop feature is called “Grayscale Conversion.” It automatically converts your images to grayscale, which can be a helpful way to save space on your computer. However, the downside is that grayscale conversions can be destructive, so you may not be able to adjust the saturation and brightness of each color after the conversion.

  1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap the Albums button at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Tap a album to open it.
  4. Tap a photo to view it.
  5. To share the photo, tap the share button at the bottom of the screen, and then choose whether to send it as an email, message, or post to Facebook or Twitter. ..

The photo was taken at night, in a dark alley. The light from the streetlights is barely visible through the gaps in the darkness.

Method 2: Make an Image Black and White Using the Black & White Adjustment Layer

  1. Open the Black and White adjustment layer.
  2. Set the black point to 0.0 and the white point to 255.0.
  3. Set the gamma to 1.0 and adjust the brightness to taste (you can also use a negative value if you want a darker image).
  4. Save your changes as a new image using the File > Save As command.

Method 3: Use Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layers

The Hue/Saturation adjustment tool is another non-destructive method for preserving color data.

To apply a selective coloring effect to a black and white photo, use the Adjustment feature. To do this, leave a specific color channel unsaturated (for example, magenta). The color selection tool can automatically choose the color you want from a part of the image.

Method 4: Use a Gradient Map

The Gradient Map tool can be used to create grayscale images based on the brightness values. This effect can make the darker areas become dark gray while the lighter areas become light gray.

To use the tool:

  1. Enter a keyword into the text field and press the enter key.
  2. Click on the “search” button to find articles that match your keyword.
  3. Click on the “read” button to read articles that match your keyword.

Method 5: Use the Channel Mixer

The Channel Mixer is a tool that uses color data to create a black and white image to your preferences. This tool lets you mimic the effect of using a color filter when you take a photo.

Method 6: Use Lab Color

The Lab Color method is destructive, removing all color data and making the conversion to black and white more accurate.
