How to give a Monochrome Effect into your Photos using Photoshop | Step by Step Guide
Today I will show you some guidance about how to make a Monochrome effect into your photo using Photoshop.
First Open Photoshop and click Ctrl + O or open the photo that you wanted to give the effect in Photoshop. For example, I'm using this photo:
image sourceAfter that duplicate the background/photos you select earlier with CTRL + J (right-click on mouse and select duplicate layer)
image sourceIn the duplicate image/photo, give or set hue/saturation by click on the menu bar, select image - adjustment - hue/saturation then click on yellow then set its saturation to 72 (can be set according to your wish).

on the green option set its saturation to be 72 (can be set as you want), then click OK

And right after, we can see the changes in our photos.
image sourceDuplicate back the photo that you are editing. Then in the duplicate image (Layer 1 copy) give effect black and white ( image - adjustment - black and white / CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + B ), then click OK. After that the photo will change to black and white, then change mode Normal to the screen (located above the layer) and set its opacity according to your desire.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my post. I hope it's useful for you and you can follow it right away.
all fine but you're left with too much magenta in the end, I would use the hue or selective colour to turn the magenta more natural skin colour while keeping it desaturated as it is.
Nice guide!!!
