Black and white effect (De-saturate an image)

In the last tutorial we have discussed about Blurring the background of an image, now let's move on to the next tutorial. In this tutorial, we will have a quick look about how to make an image colourless or black and white edit to an image. There are several techniques to apply this type of effect, one of that kind I have already discussed here. It is slightly big process to edit and  also somewhat different to black and white picture. Now, let's discuss about a very simple technique of applying this effect. First of all, I'm eager to introduce you about a new feature(option) in this tutorial which is nothing but a "De-saturate" option. This option let's you to apply the effect what I have mentioned above. Okay, let's discuss in detail about the desaturate option and application of the effect to an image.

De-saturate: As the name implies that by selecting that option it De-colourises the colours of an image and turn the entire image in to a colourless image resulting in a black and white image. Let's apply this effect to an image.

To apply the effect, I have selected the famous Bollywood actor Ranbir kapoor as an example as shown below.


Step 1: Open the above image in Adobe photoshop 7.0 software by clicking on "Open (Ctr+O)" button in "File" option in menu bar.


Step 2: Now click on the "Image" option in Menu bar. It shows the options as shown in the below screen shot.


Step 3: Now click on "Adjustments" option. It shows the following options as shown in the below screen shot.


Step 4: Observe the above screen shot you will find "De-saturate or (Ctr+Shift+U)" option in them. Just click on that option then your image will turn like this as shown in the below screen shot.


Step 5: It's done! now "save" the picture in your desired folder. It looks like the below image.


Finally, the edit is applied successfully. You can have very classy effects with this option and edit your pictures professionally. In the coming tutorials  we will look after some more other type of editing. Don't forget to follow me to stay in touch for the latest updates.

Happy editing...!
