Black and White

Converting to black and white, monochrome or, to be pedantic, no chrome, or succinct, greys ...

I change the Image Mode to Lab. This is L a b not 'Lab' if you see what I mean; three words. L means Luminance; Light. a and b mean the relative colour. Delete the a and b channels then change the Image Mode to Greyscale.

I then duplicate the background twice and change one to Multiply and the other to Soft Light. I use the latter more often than the former.

And I add a Levels Adjustments Layer to fine tuning working on Lights, Blacks, Mids in that order.
