Hi,

I have a picture of a nude girl on white background. How do I keep darkening it until it becomes close to a black Silhouette

Thanks

Trish

PS. I am just a beginner, so please try to be simple

several ways of doing that. You could:

select the girl and make a new layer from selection, then just paint it black. Or use levels to decrease the whiteness.
desaturate her then use brightness/contrast
change the image to grayscale then use levels to darken

hope this helps
