Antique Advertisement ~ A Choice Bit of Silver

 

Another fun possible Valentines or Wedding image. The text is fabulous and I love the drape of the border.

Someone inquired as to how I shift the images from colored to straight black and white. I'm not sure how professionals do it, but this is how I do it.. :)

I use PhotoScape (a free online photoediting software) once I have my image selected, I increase the contrast, then convert it to black and white. (one of the small tools on the bottom right hand side of the screen, the button is a small gradiated square going from black to white). Then I increase the contrast again until the majority of the gray speckle is gone. Hope that helps! I have absolutely no idea how to do it in Photoshop.

Enjoy!!
