Create a high contrast lith conversion in Photoshop Elements
Remove grey tones to create a high-contrast, arty lith image using Photoshop Elements in just 5 minutes
Most black and white images aren't black and white, if they're well exposed they will have a full tonal range, with most of the image made up of varying shades of grey. In the days of film photography, lith film was used to create high-contrast black and white images with little in the way of midtones. This tutorial will show you how to take the lith look to the extreme. It's a style that only suits certain images, but it can transform a less than inspiring colour shot into a graphic high-impact image. Watch the video to find out how it's done.

Found the tutorial on this simple technique very useful. By coincidence, and using Photoshop for several years for other techniques I had tried earlier this evening to convert a simple image in the same way by just messing about with Threasholds (think that is the right name) and came up with quite an interesting image high-contrast image, so I feel quite broad of myself that my technique was reiterated in your tutorial.

Sorry about the spelling mistake above, should read "quite an interesting high-contract image, so I feel quite PROUD .....

It took 25 bloody minutes to load this page... I couldn't even remember what it was supposed to be when it finally loaded.
