Bit of photo help neededAyup guysHow do I make a colour photo black and white?? |
||
| andysleigh |
if u have photoshop, then go to - image , greyscale.
its either under image or effects along the top bar |
||

Most photo editing software does that. The effect is called Grey Scale
email me the photo and I would do it for you. IF you need my email, PM me |

As SAID,
Most software has the capability to do this for you. I have taken some Black and White on my digi camera yesterday of Papplewick Pumping Station, in Nottingham. Go into menu and select Colour, Sepia , Black and white. Worth having a go at as the results are quite interesting and not what you would think. Makes stuff look very old at a touch of a button.

Thanks for the offer John!
I played around with all the buttons in Microsoft Office Picture Manager and something I did turned it black and white  
If I need to do another one in the future, and I can't do it, would you do it please? |

... Jim, I guess your camera can do b/w or sepia right in its menue? My Pentax has that feature ... the manual is as thick as telephone book. Well, kinda. | ||

Aye it can mate

if you want it to look real old (i use paint shop pro)
Lower the saturation down to 0 (makes it black and white) Then duplicate the image so that it a layer overf it self Then right click on the layer select propties Select bland mode selct overlay Before (colour) 
After (Black & White)

http://www.getpaint.net/ It's as easy as going into Adjustments and selecting Black and White. Good free program, though for windows XP only since version 3 |

Or go the old fashioned sepia route...

I like the sepia look a lot. You should do it with a toy steam engine. | ||
| Andy |
would hyave done that one, but since james wanted Black and White, and i personally prefer the look of black and white i chose to do that one. But it easy enought to make it sepia in paint shop pro |

I've always found the sepia look nice, but odd.
The colour is nearly what it looks like over here in the daytime when there is a major bushfire around. |
