I haven’t done one of these in a long time.
Original:
I’m loving black and white conversions right now so I thought this would work perfectly.
In CS4 I switched to black and white mode, moved the sliders around until I got a good balance.
A new curves layer, using the hand tool, increased the contrast to taste.
Removed noise twice.
Resized and sharpened for web.
