Sometimes a photo is striking in black and white. Other
times, you need to change an image to black and white for some other
reason. Perhaps you want to include the image in a newsletter that is
printed in black and white. Whatever the reason, making the change is
easy. You start by making a copy of your photo. You will work from the
copy so that the original photo remains intact.
- Choose Image > Duplicate from the menu. The Duplicate
Image dialog box opens.
- Type the name you want to give to the copy of your photo.
- Click OK.
You are now ready to change your color image to black and
white.
- Choose Image > Mode > Grayscale from the menu.
- If prompted, click OK to discard color information.
Your photograph is now black and white.
