First you have to turn a colour photo to black and white. There are two ways to do this and both methods use adjustments layers which create a layer mask over the image.
The adjustment layers are:
1. Hue/Saturation, or
2. Gradient.
Original |
- Open the colour photo
- Add a new Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer above the photo.
- Move the Saturation slider all the way to the left.
- Select the thumbnail and paint over the leaf with black paint. (Note: painting with white paint will cover up any mistakes)

- Open the colour photo
- Add a new Gradient Adjustment Layer, Black to White above the photo.
- Select the thumbnail and paint over the leaf with black paint. (Note: painting with white paint will cover up any mistakes)
this is more like true b/w and is created with Gradient |
You can change the opacity of the paintbrush if you desire. Here I had my paintbrush set at an Opacity of 27% while painting over the geranium in black.
Reminds me of an old colourized photo |
With the background activated, select Filter>Noise>Add Noise
5% Noise, Gaussian, Monochromatic |
