…In order to finish this project off, we're going to be creating three more layers.…And on these layers, what we'll do is, we'll convert our image to black and white…and posterize those layers at different levels, so…we can bring back a little bit of texture.…Alright, well let me show you what I mean.…Here, we're going to begin by navigating to the…bottom of the layer stack, and I want…you to click on the background layer, then click and drag this to the new layer icon.…This will give us a duplicate version…of the background layer, the original version of this photograph.…Next, we'll go ahead and click and drag this to the very top of our layer stack.…
So, we'll bring that all the way up so that the original…photograph is covering all of the work that we've done so far.…Now, on this layer, what we're going to do,…is convert it to black and white, and posterize it.…To do so, we'll navigate to the Image…Pull-down menu and choose Image Adjustments, and then Desaturate.…And then after having done that, we'll go to Image Adjustments, and then Posterize.…
