Project four: Photoshop CC: Create black-and-white masterpieces in seconds

The Mission – Use the free organic borders provided to create tasteful A4 or A3 mono prints

Time – 30 minutes

Skill level – Beginner

Kit needed – Photoshop CC

B&W FX Kit

You’ll find the free B&W FX Kit files in this issue’s download; you’ll need Photoshop CC to use them. The four files in the kit allow you to create A3- or A4-sized shots in vertical or horizontal format: just pick the size and orientation that you want.

When you want to create a black-and-white rendition of a picture, there are so many ways of processing the image that it can be difficult to know where to start. The colours in a regular picture can be turned into various shades of grey, so a red object, for example, can be made to look very bright, very dark or anything in-between, depending on how you convert it. Add all the other colours into the mix, and making a mono conversion can leave you scratching your head!

For this issue’s download, we have the solution. Just add your colour shot, then go through a series of clicks to get your desired mono results. Our B&W FX Kit will also standardize your print size to A4 or A3, and add a tidy border, so you can produce an ace mono prints in seconds.
