I would to convert a color picture to B&W and then import it into MS Publisher and then print out the doc on a LaserJet printer. I then take the document, a music concert program, and run it through a B&W copier.

What is the best way to format a picture so it prints out on a B&W LaserJet printer. A color copier run is 4 times as expensive and a B&W copier run.

Copiers vary greatly on their ability to reproduce images. I would suggest trying various ways. Frankly I usually don’t bother trying to convert an image to B&W before printing it on a B&W printer. Most of the time it works fine.

What image software do you have available? It is likely someone else will be able to help you more if they know what options you have.

When you mentioned imagining software it jogged my memory. We used to convert pictures to lithographic dot images – the names escape me right now.

Is it something like modifying pixel density?

What are some imaging software packages out there?

Thank you,

I misunderstood your response/question. I’m using Photoshop Elements
5. I think I need to break the photo into layers to control the
contrasts between objects.
