Adobe Photoshop Elementsis one of the best consumer driven software that support easy to use features to create a ten-on-ten perfect photo. This application has given immense boost to an artist to create and try out different features to carve a bigger than life photo. Its simple to use features have made challenging tasks like correcting a blemished image, changing the back ground, improving the resolution of the picture and now creating two different tones in one single picture, a child's play. Bringing forth its new feature of creating 2 tones in just one photo, the software allows access to all possible experiments to make your photo perfect.

The technique of creating two tones in one picture involves the conversion of a coloured image into black&white with a special sepia effect. This effect enhances the appeal of your photo by rendering it a classic look. To change your photo into a two toned black and white photograph, follow the below pointers:

First and foremost method of adjusting the tone of your colored photograph to black and white is by using the easy to access hue and saturation layer technique. This strategy completely de-saturates all of the livid colors in your photo and transforms it into a colorless black and white photograph. Now, after acquiring the desired photograph, it's advisable to create a duplicate background and name it accordingly. Next, you need to separate the shadows and highlights from your photograph. To do this, go to the layers pallet and click on "create new fill" to choose "Threshold". Choosing 'Threshold' will change your picture into black and white. You'll notice that an adjustment slider has also opened up. Now on the slider, keep altering your photograph until you're pleased with the separation of black&white quotient in the image.

Now, you have to create around 2 hue and saturation layers. These will be two pictures, one being the inverse of the first one. Then click the 'magic wand' tool to check if the tolerance is 100 percent. Now select the entire white portion on the picture by hitting any white part in your picture. You can mix this white colour a bit for better effects by choosing the option, "Feather" and converting its radius to 15 pixels.

Now when you choose the option, "create a new fill", you will observe that a new layer opens up containing the mask that absolutely resembles your photo. Then, save this new layer by clicking 'OK" and rename this new layer as Highlights.

Select the option, "magic wand" for the last time and this time clicking on the black coloured area in the photo. You can feather selection one more time to build another saturation layer. Just click 'Ok' and save this new layer as 'shadows'.

As the previous step, click the 'Threshold' layer to turn it off, to open the adjustment layer labeled, 'Highlights'. Select the colour box and change its hues until you're happy. Fix the saturation too. Repeat the same steps for Shadow layer as well. You will meet the desired results.
