PHOTOFILTRE: Adding Depth/Intensity to B&W Image
STEP I: Open your image with your PhotoFiltre program. Once the image is open, go to the left-hand side, to where there is a small icon representation of your image, and right click. A drop-down menu will appear, take that down to 'Duplicate'.
This will make a duplicate copy of your original image.
STEP II: Now go to the toolbar on your right-hand side, and click on the 'Layer Manager Tool'.
At the bottom of the toolbar, you'll notice a few controls for 'Layer 1'. Go to the 'Blend Mode' option, and take the drop down menu to 'Multiply'.
STEP III: Go back to your image, and making sure your 'Layer 1' is still selected (You'll know if it is selected, if the small icon representation of it is highlighted with an orange border), then right click over the image and take the drop down menu to 'Options'.
This will open a pop-up box. Within it, change the 'Opacity' level to anywhere between 50% - 75% (depending what works with your image). Then click on the 'OK' button.
STEP IV: Now go to the top toolbar, and click on the 'Gamma Correct (-)' button 2 - 4 times (depending what works with your image).
Back on the top toolbar, now click on the 'Contrast (+)' button 2 - 4 times (depending what works with your image).
Once again on the top toolbar, click on the 'Sharpen' button once. And you're done.
