How to Make Your Friends Black & White on MySpace

Black and white colors adds a different feeling or element to a photograph. Long ago, we had to decide before we took a picture with a camera whether we wanted the picture to be black-and-white or color. With modern-day technology we can take photos and add effects to them and change the colors long after we have taken the actual photo. Social network websites such as MySpace allow us to post as many pictures as we want for the world to see. Help your friends be more creative by changing some of their colored photos to black-and-white.
