You can also increase or decrease the contrast in
the image. The Adjustment Intensity slider determines the amount of each adjustment.
The default setting applies small amounts. Drag the slider to the right to increase
intensity; drag to the left to decrease intensity.
5. Click OK to complete the conversion. The converted black-and-white image is shown
in the following illustration.
Add Text to an Image
You can add text to any image you edit with Photoshop Elements. You can add
text to an image that will become a greeting card, poster, or framed artwork.
You can create vertical or horizontal text using any font currently installed on
your system.
Create Text
1. Open the image to which you want to add text.
2. Select the Text tool.
TIP
To make the converted image look like a black-and-white
film photo, choose Filter | Artistic | Film Grain. Use a
Grain value of 10, and leave the other settings at their
default. Then choose Filter | Blur | Gaussian Blur, and
specify a Radius value of .1 to soften the film grain.
TIP
You may be tempted to convert an image to grayscale by
choosing Image | Mode | Grayscale. When you do this,
you discard all color information. If you print the image,
not all of your printer heads fire, and the result is less
than acceptable.
