Convert color to black and white, and add an old-fashioned tinted look
Let's turn our image black and white with an adjustment layer
Select the layer you want to adjust...
Click the Adjustment Icon on the bottom of the layers panel and select Black & White
In the Properties Panel, you can use the sliders to adjust the contrast in the image to your liking.
For example, to darken the reds (where they were when it was color) in the image, drag the red slider to the left.
To lighten the reds (where they were when it was color) in the image, drag the red slider to the right.
To add an artistic color tint to the image, turn on the TINT check box.
When you do, Photoshop tints the image with a light brown creating a sepia effect.
To change the color tint, click the colored square next to the word TINT.
In the color picker click within the vertical bar to choose a range of colors.
And then click within the larger box to the left to pick a brightness level.
Click OK to apply.
