    I know there are some PS whizzes out there on this site and I need some help


    Can anyone tell me how you take a picture and make it grayscale, but also make the entire background all black.

    I have an older version 7.0 so i only halfway know how to work it

    Alternatively: in menus: Image -- Mode -- Grayscale

    to make background all black ... select background then use then menu: Edit -- Fill -- black (opacity 100%)

    the hard part will be selecting the background ... many ways you can do this, some easier than others depending on the image you're editing.

    Extract filter is useful too.

    Extract foreground from background like they show in the video. Fill background w/black. Convert to Grayscale or desaturate.
