Create a Vintage Black and White

Follow a simple, creative workflow that transforms a clean color photo into a dramatic, vintage black-and-white print. You’ll start by building a bold, high-contrast foundation, then convert with control to achieve a rich monochrome look. From there, layer in grungy vignettes, paper folds, and distressed borders to give your photo the charm of an aged print pulled straight from the past. Perfect for aircraft, classic cars, industrial scenes, or moody portraits that deserve a timeless, museum-style finish.
