Challenge Thursday - B&W Photo Pop - Trixie Scraps Designs

Hello everyone! I am here with this week’s challenge. I want to focus on Black and White photos. I recently acquired Photoshop and it has been a new learning process for me. With that came re-learning how to do the “simple” things, but also finding that I had so much more capability in making my photos stand out. One such example of that was playing around with the adjustments when changing a color photo to black and white. Here is my photo before and after the adjustments:

And here it is done in my layout using Black Tie Event kit:

What I would like to challenge you to do is work with the “color” adjustments in the pop-up box (in PS for changing the photo to black and white) and get the contrasts “just right” in making that photo POP! You can also change the photo to black and white, then use the “Exposure” or “Selective Color” options under “Image, then Adjustments” to tweek the photo as well. Can you do that? I hope so and look forward to seeing your layouts in the Trixie Scraps Gallery.
