This tutorial introduces how to create commonly used grayscale non-mainstream effects. The color used in the photo is basically dark green for the most commonly used parts, and then the overall lightness and darkness of the photo are adjusted. There are not many tones in the photo, but the light needs to be controlled well.
Original picture
final effect
1. Open the original image material, press Ctrl + J to copy the background layer, and press Ctrl + Shift + U to remove the color.
<Figure 1>
2. Create a new layer, fill it with color: #282828, then change the layer blending mode to "Multiply" and the layer opacity to: 30%, the effect is as shown in Figure 2.
<Figure 2>
3. Create a brightness/contrast adjustment layer, add some contrast appropriately, set the parameters as shown in Figure 3, and the effect as shown in Figure 4.

<Figure 4>
4. Duplicate the background layer, press Ctrl + Shift + ] to move it to the top of the layer, add a layer mask, keep only the characters, and erase other parts with a black brush. The approximate effect is as shown in Figure 5.

5. Create a hue/saturation adjustment layer. The parameter settings are as shown in Figure 6, and the effect is as shown in Figure 7.

6. Create a Curves adjustment layer, darken the picture appropriately, and set the parameters as shown in Figure 8. After confirming, use a black brush to erase the background part.
