So you might be confused by the title question its simple
I want a black background for one of my picture. I took the picture in a brightly lit room (ROOM A), well not too much. My problem is when I paint my background black my face still has that room A lighting. Got it? How to convert ? Also how to convert to black and white pictures?

If you want an idea how do I want the pic to be sort of (lighting)

Peter.

Hi and welcome to the forum. It would help if you could post the image you are working on or wish to change as well as the images you wish to get near to.

Actually I deleted the picture, I will re-take a picture when I have time

But underneath, you will see a picture to the left is my room lighting to the right and bwloe is the lighting I want. That is just step number one.
Lets start with this. I took faces off because this is just a picture of the room where I will take my pic. After, I would like to know how to black/white

It's going to be impossible to implement a correct lighting retouch without the original image. As for converting to b&w use an adjustment layer, it's easier than most to adjust and more powerful than desaturating or greyscaling.
