Step Five:
Let’s open another image in Photoshop. This time it’s a champagne glass with a small “love” heart made of thin cork attached. The original color version is
seen below left, but we’ll probably want to make this image black and white to better blend with the other two black-and-white images. If you just remove
the color by using Photoshop’s Desaturate command (under the Image menu, under Adjustments, choose Desaturate), it just removes all the color from the
image and generally leaves you with kind of a flat-looking black-and-white image (as seen below right). This desaturated version made that cork heart look
really dark, but luckily, instead, we can apply a black-and-white profile to get better results (and one where the cork isn’t so dark). So, go under the Filter
menu and choose Camera Raw Filter to bring up Photoshop’s version of Lightroom’s Develop module—it’s the same sliders, in the same order, that do
the same thing. Near the top of the Basic panel on the right, click on the icon with the four little squares to the right of the Profile pop-up menu to bring up
the Profile Browser (seen here). Scroll down to the B&W profiles and find one that looks good to you (I chose B&W 04 here, and look how much lighter
the cork looks. Nice!), and then click OK.
