5 Black and White Actions for Photoshop

Use these free black and white Photoshop actions to turn a picture to black and white in just a few seconds.

Black and white is often abbreviated B/W or B&W. Throughout the 19th century, most photography was monochrome photography. Images were either black-and-white or they had shades of sepia. Sometimes photographs were hand tinted.

Even though color photography became more used from the mid-20th century, black and white photography has continued to be popular among photographers.

In photography, black and white is considered an art form, as shown in the pictures of the well-known photographer Ansel Adams.

How To Create Black and White Photographs?

To make a black and white photo you can use a black-and-white film. If you have a color photograph you can use a digital conversion to grayscale; often a digital image editing manipulation to enhance the results is used.
