To make an image black and white in Photopea, navigate to Image -> Adjustments -> Black & White. This will convert your image to grayscale, and you can then manipulate the individual color channels to fine-tune the lightness or darkness of different areas.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Open your Image in Photopea: Start by opening the image you want to convert in the Photopea editor.
- Access Adjustments: Go to the "Image" menu at the top of the screen.
- Select "Adjustments": In the "Image" menu, find and click on "Adjustments."
- Choose "Black & White": From the "Adjustments" submenu, select "Black & White."
- Fine-tune (Optional): A Black & White adjustment panel will appear, allowing you to adjust the influence of the original colors on the grayscale conversion. For example, you can make the areas that were originally red appear lighter or darker in the black and white version. Play with the sliders until you achieve the desired result.
- Confirm Changes: Once you're satisfied with the black and white conversion, click "OK" (or simply close the panel; changes are often applied automatically in Photopea).
The "Black & White" adjustment in Photopea allows for more control than simply desaturating an image because you can adjust the grayscale values based on the original colors, resulting in a more nuanced and customized black and white conversion.
