2nd, the eyes are litterly an unreal color, way too much.

3rd, how did you convert? it appears you just converted to grayscale...get used to and practice B/W conversion using different methods, simply converting to grayscale or desat-ing leaves images super flat.

I look forward to seeing more from you.

Thank you very much. I mean that. Your family and friends all think something is great so you don't get any real help.

I used Photoshop Elements 5.0 and the Auto convert to B&W. It that desat??
I realy am a newbie.

Good friends had some realy bad luck and they didn't have money for Sr. photo's. So here I am trying my hand at something I know nothing about. I don't know how to pose people at all. Oh Well... A learning experince...headach...a challange...headach... lol.

The eyes, I didn't do any thing except color them after useing auto convert on the the hole photo. I also added a catch light in the left one because I realized that I hadn't captured it. I realize that the color wasn't real. I tried a more natrual color and she didn't like it. She said that she couldn't see it. So I made them what she wanted.

What meathod do you use to convert to B & W. I only know how to use the auto version. I just started using a program at all. Before all the things I did were in camera. I have filters ect. for Landscape and Nature photos.

Thank you for your time!

1st I suggest you get Photoshop CS2, once you have that subscribe to Itunes and get the weekly photoshop podcasts to learn more.
As far as to what method I use to convert...well that depends on the image, there are some I use that only require 3 steps, others involve about 34 steps, there are a multitude of conversions out there, I suggest that once you have CS2 you do a web search for "Photoshop B/W conversion" you will come up with alot of choices.
