Strawberry Singh’s monday meme this week challenges you guys to take a black and white portrait! This was a lot of fun for me because I’ve been wanting an excuse to try out black and white images (I’ve always be too scared I’d ruin it by removing the colour), especially since I usually have a very bright and cartoony style! But I think this came out rather nicely.

I understand that not everyone is a Photoshop genius, so I’ve made a set of 3 Photoshop actions you can download so you can take part in the Monday meme too without fiddling with all the buttons and menus! Harper Ganesvoort on Plurk came across this great tutorial which allows you to create flawless black and white images without sacrificing quality and contrast. So basically what I’ve done is created these actions based on that tutorial so you can create great black and white images at only a click of a button! You will have to google how to install these yourself because the process does vary from version to version.

Happy Meme-ing!
