Black & White

The Black & White tool converts a color photo to black and white. It also contains several controls to manipulate the monochrome look.

• Convert to B&W. Click this button to convert between color and black & white.

• Luminance. When the Luminance button is selected, the Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Magenta color sliders control the brightness of each respective color as it’s converted to black and white.

• Saturation. When the Saturation button is selected, each color slider introduces the respective color into the black and white image where it was present in the original color image.

Tip: Spot color

If you want to create a spot color effect, explore the Edit Mask for the Black & White tool.
