Create black and white photos

If you have colour photos in your account, but want black and white versions for prints, or to use in a project, you can edit those photos in your online albums. Follow these steps to create black and white copies of your color photos.

Mouse over a thumbnail and click edit

  1. Click MY PHOTOS at the top of the page, and open the album that contains the photos you want to edit.
  2. Hover your mouse over the photo you want to edit, and click the gear icon that appears.
  3. A menu like shown on the right appears. Click Edit Photo.
  4. Your photo appears on the left and the editing menu is on the right (shown below). Click FILTERS at the top.

     
  5. When the FILTERS menu opens (see below), click B & W in the top row, and you will see the photo turn to Black and White.

    Add tints or color to your photo in the editing menu in the library
  6. Click DONE EDITING to save the change to a new copy of the photo. The new black and white version will appear alongside your original colour version in your album.

Note: Currently you cannot edit more than one photo at a time and there is no option when ordering prints to convert the photos to black and white.
