Guys, you don't have to rely on a web site to make your pictures black and white, or old. You can do it on your own computer in your photo editing program in just a minute or two. Here's one of my coupe. If I wanted to make it fuzzy like some of the pictures you posted, I just select the right pull down menu and make it as fuzzy as I want. I did not make this one fuzzy though.

Not eveybody has the skills norm, myself included, it's free and its fun, don't be such a spoilsport. I noticed you didn't include detailed instructions on how to do it yourself:D

There is a good reason I did not give detailed instructions. It's impossible to do so because people use many different photo editing programs on their computer. I have three editing programs myself. One is Photoshop that I use the most, plus another one, plus the one that came with my camera. By the way, most camera's will take black and white picture by simply changing the mode of the digital camera. So.......really you don't even need to do it on the computer.:) You just have to read the instructions that came with your camera to learn how to change the mode for your particular camera. You may even be able to change modes on your cell phone camera. Mine allows me to do that if I want.

That said, I am no computer expert myself. But..........if there is something that can be done on the computer that I want or need to do, I learn how. I don't go to a computer class to do it. I simply read the instruction book, click on the help menu for that program and explore the tool bars that come with that program. Everything you need to know is in one of those. Then, I just play with the program until I figure it out.

I look at the computer not as a toy, but as a tool to do things I want and need to do. So.........I do the same thing with the computer (tool) that I would do with any other tool. Read the instructions that come with it and the accessories (software programs) that came with it, just like I do when buying as simple as a new table saw, etc.

Now for detailed instructions on changing a color picture to black and white on Photoshop software. Just go to the tool bar at the top of the screen, find "convert to black and white", then click on it. Whala, your picture is now automatically black and white. Give it a different name so as not to lose your color picture and hit the save button. Other programs are probably just as simple.:)

PS: I have never attended any type of computer classes. Too old for that.

Thank's Norm's Coupe, found the settings on my camera!

You are right of course:eek: too many different devices for generalization. When I can catch my grankids in the right mood I take short classes from them:)

I did this one a while back. I like both versions.

I'd love to purchase Photoshop, but I keep finding car parts to spend my dough on instead:D

So get the Free Trial version. Just do a search for adobe photoshop and you'll find free downloads.:)
