Layers EmployedYou might have read all the fancy publications on how to convert your photo from colour into BW (btw, the title is not making BW photo because we don't use BW films anymore with all the different coloured filters attached).

There is change Image Mode, Saturation, Gradient Map, Channel Mixer.

 In this opportunity, I would like to show you how you can do this with Invert-Hue.  I will show you several different results as well.

  1. Add invert adjustment layer, and change the layer type to Hue. Change its opacity to 50%. 
  2. You may have to do this over again to completely remove some colour traces
  3. Ta-daaaa.....
Here are the different results:
