Monochrome editing

This is my origional image.

To get the image to look like this I changed the saturation to -100 to make the image black and white. I then changed the contrast to create some interesting shapes and shades. Finally I inverted the image to change everything that was white to black and everything that was black to white.

I then used the colourize option to create this image. To do this I clicked on the colourize box and moved the slider to a positition that gave me a colour that I liked. I like the darkness in the clouds and the water in this image.

This is the hue/saturation option box. which shows how I made the image black and white. Also in this image is the invert option. This shows you how I inverted the image.
