PS – the frustration when converting a colored logo to black / white
September 2nd, 2009

This is not a master level trick here by any means, but it is one that caused me much confusion until i figured out what was going on. – Why i could use the exact same steps to convert one logo to black and white and yet sometimes, those steps wouldn’t work on another document!

I found out why – cmyk vs rgb.

To do these steps, you’ll need Desaturate (SHIFT + CTRL + U)

You will also need Curves (CTRL + M)

Now use the curves palette and drag the the line up to the top left.
