At this time you can go ahead and tube the graphic if you want,

simply export it to your picture tubes located under the file menu



Fourth step:
Click on ADJUST – COLOR BALANCE – CHANNEL MIXER

 


A channel mixer edit window will pop up
FILL in, EXACTLY as shown in the diagram/OR/

keep clicking on the DICE until you get the graphic BLACK
Then click OK

 



Now just use your paintbrush (set to black) to touch things up,

and your eraser tool to clean it up a bit.



Now you will have this, a silhouette, at this point you can tube it,

shadow it or add things to it.

 

 

OR - SAVE AS A *PNG* IN YOUR PICTURE FOLDER



Have fun in black & white
