Today I will show you some guidance about how to make a Monochrome effect into your photo using Photoshop. 1. First Open Photoshop and click Ctrl + O or open the photo that you wanted to give the effect in Photoshop. For example, I'm using this photo: https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511024708.jpg [image source](https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511024708.jpg) 2. After that duplicate the background/photos you select earlier with CTRL + J (right-click on mouse and select duplicate layer) https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511025018.jpg [image source](https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511025018.jpg) 3. In the duplicate image/photo, give or set hue/saturation by click on the menu bar, select image - adjustment - hue/saturation then click on yellow then set its saturation to 72 (can be set according to your wish). https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511025633.jpg [image source](https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511025633.jpg) on the green option set its saturation to be 72 (can be set as you want), then click OK https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511025645.jpg [image source](https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511025645.jpg) And right after, we can see the changes in our photos. https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511025701.jpg [image source](https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511025701.jpg) 4. Duplicate back the photo that you are editing. Then in the duplicate image (Layer 1 copy) give effect black and white ( image - adjustment - black and white / CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + B ), then click OK. After that the photo will change to black and white, then change mode Normal to the screen (located above the layer) and set its opacity according to your desire. https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511030235.jpg [image source](https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511030235.jpg) https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511030252.jpg [image source](https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511030252.jpg) 5. Duplicate again the layer 1 copy (CTRL + J) Then In layer 1 copy 2 , set the screen mode to linear dodge (add), and set its opacity to your desire. https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511030510.jpg [image source](https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511030510.jpg) 6. Put all the layers from the bottom to top by clicking on the top layer (layer 1 copy 2) after that click CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + E and the result will be layer 2 as below. https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511030720.jpg [image source](https://s.kaskus.id/images/2016/05/11/7494232_20160511030720.jpg) 7.
