CONVERTING IMAGES TO BLACK AND WHITE USING PS CS5

Please note. This is one of several ways to convert your images to black and white. We'll be working with other methods later in the semester. For this first assignment, please follow the instructions below.

1. Open your image in Photoshop.

2. Chose Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Black and White...

3. A dialog box will appear. Click OK.

4. Chose File -> Save As.

5. Save your image as a *.psd file. This will preserve the black and white adjustment layer that was created. Make sure you provide your image with a filename that will not overwrite your original file.

Below is a video tutorial that describes using this tool in depth.
