To start with i opened an image that i thought would look good in monochrome. I looked for a photo that had lots of dark and light parts. This i knew would give a better monochrome image as it would stand out more. In the photo i chose the bright light makes a lot of contrast.
I then needed to make my photo unsaturated. I did this by sliding the saturation on the "hue/saturation" tool bar all the way to 0. This gave me a grey scale positive. The screen shot below shows the steps above.
I then pressed the invert colour button, which swaps the tones around, for example, black became white and white became black. This leaves the photo in the form of a negative. It is now a digital photogram.
I like the effect it gives as it intensifies my personal experience. The different shades get darker towards the stage and on the side screen. This effect has also added vignetting though it gets lighter on the edges instead of darker. This effect is similar to that of Henry Fox Talbot and Man Ray.
