Curly Locks in B&W

On her blog, Country Girl converted people photos to B&W, influencing me to try the same. Here's my daughter showing off her curly locks on a breezy day last fall. The tree bark and flowing hair textures kind of clash, I'm afraid.

that is so cool; I really like it--where do you go to do this--I remember you saying you found a place--tell me where it is---not that I would necessarily do it--but it would be nice to know where you can do it. ps--I live 20 min from the beach.

nannykim,

I am absolutely green with envy over your proximity to the ocean! Post a seaside photo anytime you want!

My version of converting photos to B&W is not probably the best one. You should read what the others do in PhotoShop. I don't have PhotoShop; but, I discovered I have PictureIt.....you can convert to B&W with one click and then do other adjustments of sharpness, contrast, brightness. But, from reading other people's methods, it sounds like there are other, better ways.

kacey,

Yeah, thanks for putting the idea out there for us to pick up on. I could get addicted to this doodling around with photos.....it is so much fun!! I may never do another lick of housework!!

I don't think the textures clash at all. It's unique and interesting. Very mysterious, the girl in the photo.

Doodling around with photos is definitely addicting! But rewarding, too. Oh, and here's how I convert to B&W: control+shift+u. Pretty tough, eh? I mean, there's lots of other things I can do, I guess. But whatever works, right?

I think it's great that you can get PictureIt to do the things you want it to do.

Yes, the girl in the photo IS very mysterious at times!! But, we are close.
