Mastering Adobe Photoshop Elements 2023
By :

Black and white conversions, despite Elements having an easy-to-use Convert to Black and White feature (under Enhance), can be tricky—it's easy enough to do it, but to do it well, with a richness of tonality, takes a bit of skill. I have included this Guided Edit feature because it does a great job of tinting images—not just "sepia toning" but really offering a cool range of color tones that most would have never thought to create in the past. Now you can!
Step one: This first feature (outlined in red) borrows a few of the recipes from the Convert to Black and White tool under Enhance (such as Newspaper, Urban, and Vivid), allowing you to first off add a bit of contrast "kick" to the converted mono tones.
Step two: Adjust Tones affects the contrast—get it looking good, then move on to Add Texture. Most really old photographs actually have less grain and artefacts than we have now...
