How do I change a photo to black and white in Photoshop?

Here are my instructions - Convert to black and white (no grayscale!!); black to white ratio is 20% black, 80% white. Black coverage needs to stay less than 20% of the entire piece.How do I change a photo to black and white in Photoshop?
DESATURATE it.

and then after you desaturate it.. just mess around with the levels.

Change the foreground and background colors to black %26amp; white.

Go to Layer--%26gt;New Adjustment Layer--%26gt;Gradient map.



A window will pop up. Click on the gradient and another window will pop up. Adjust the sliders at the bottom and put the black and white sliders right next to eachother. Move them around until you get the setting you want.



I'm not sure what people who are giving me a thumbs down are thinking, but unlike desaturating the image, this will eliminate grayscale and you don't have to mess with a series of different filters.
This is also going to be a contrast issue because converting to black and white removes all form of dimension so I would do file%26gt;image%26gt;adjustments%26gt;threshold or you can mess with the sketch filters like stamp.



People don't realize what they are giving you as an answer is greyscale. You can't have tints in black and white.
