Thank you for somehow helping me travel back in time. I like the conversion. It is like the subjects are from 1800s.

Take out the colour, increase and decrease the light and tweak the contrast. Sounds easy doesn't it, it isn't, these are quality Ian, great set mate

Thx Beach .. I read an article on using the colour channels so tried that on the first 2 and the last was the desaturate then play light and contrast route .. it was a fun experiment
