by Hengki Koentjoro who decided,
to shoot his pictures in black and white,
well this got me thinking,
so I looked back at some of the pictures I took when I was SCUBA diving,
of course all of mine were in colour,
so I wanted to make them black & white to achieve a similar effect,
not that I am comparing my snaps with Hengki Koentjoro who is a professional,
but some of the results are quiet pleasing,
the process of changing from colour,
to black & white could not be simpler,
but this is important, make a copy of the picture first to work on,
just copy and paste,
I pasted mine on to the desktop,
then right click on the picture,
scroll down to 'open with',
and click 'Microsoft office picture manager',
on the windows XP I have I then click 'picture',
a box opens, then I click 'colour'.
under Hue and Saturation settings, type -100 in the Saturation settings text box, the minus - sign before the 100 must be put in, or move the slider all the way to the left,
then click save and the new black & white picture is all yours, but as I mentioned before, make a copy of the original to work on, only work on the copy, I hope some of the above was of some help if you want to give some of your colour pictures a make over, just as an aside, with the exception of the two pictures I am in with the video camera, I took all of the pictures in this post.
