by Nicole Young of Urban Wings Artography
Matte Coloring and Matte Black and Whites are incredibly popular right now and really give photos a dramatic edge. I will show you a quick tutorial on creating an easy “newsprint” black and white matte photo using two adjustments in photoshop.
Step 1: Duplicate your photo.
