If you're looking for clarity, as well as making it B&W, you can give this a try as well. Start w/the original, create an Adjustment Layer of Hue/Sat, and drop the Sat to make it B&W (sepia is considered romantic, but the photographers would be aghast - it's actually the print's emulsion RUSTING). Make another Adjustment Layer that is Levels and pull the right slider to ALMOST to the egde of white - don't let any details blow out, but this will brighten it all over and can bring some things out that you didn't realize were there (new deep scratches, texture on dresses and faces, etc. - bad AND good stuff). You might even want to pull the left slider to the edge of black - don't worry about it getting dark because you're not doing it to the actual image - just your VIEW of it at this point. Creat a new layer above the Background that is Soft Light mode - get your spray-paint brush (hit the letter "B"), make it 0% hardness (the softest, basically), hit "D" to make your colors B&W default, and change the opacity to around 30%. Paint on this layer to doge and burn details - this works MUCH better than the actual Dodge&Burn tools (oddly)! The reason for all the different layers is so that you don't actually alter anything on the original image. This give you the most flexibility later on when you want to tweak it for a final. At this point you might wanna go to the original image at the bottom and "clean it up" like using the Heaing brush and/or the Clone Tool to tidy up scratches and dust. Good luck and have fun! -Lew ;-)
