    How to make a color picture black & white

    I have a picture of a person ... someone who writes a book and wants to put that picture in the book. The problem is that the picture to be black and white. Do you know how I could filter the color? I tried in Photoshop but I managed a little (I do not know how to do). Please help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

    If you want a magic solution of recovery of colors, you will be disappointed. There are methods that are "manual" to make a color picture black and white (a lot of tutorials on the net), but do not know of any method of automatic color picture.

    Probably the black and white means grayscale for you. If you did not how to retrieve colors than manually.

    The explanation is simple ... One is that color is RGB (Red Green Blue). Each of these values between 0-255. So we have 255 * 255 * 255 possible combinations.

    A ton of gray is a color in which R = G = B. .. For example: 100100100. So only 255 tones, so no way to retrieve 16581375 colors.

    There is something of photoshop plugin that knows how to interpret the colors, leaving quite ok. You can try it on that * do not know what is called * Whether or not the solution in the manual, leaving it better.

    You can do with masks and gradient maps with different color filters on portions of the image and can get something. But not even such as color picture directly.
