Converting to Black and White

1) Open your image in Photoshop
2) Go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate
3) if you don't like the way it looks in black and white, call me.

(Use this method if you want to put color back into the image).


To add color back to BW images:

1) use the Art History brush tool
(5th down from the right on the left-hand toolbar)
2) paint back in what you want to be in color
3) if you screw up, go to Edit > Step Backward



If you need the photo to have less contrast in Black and White, try the following
method instead.

1) Open your image
2) Go to Image > Mode > Grayscale





To Crop images:

1) use the cropping tool
(third down from the left on the toolbar)
2) draw a box around the area of the image that you'd like to keep
3) you can drag the edges of the cropping box to get it just right
4) hit 'enter' when you have selected the area of the photo you'd like to keep.
