crack my work

1. i'm start with filter>blur
2. use curve to make his face more lighter
3. use another curve for make his clothes lighter. but i'd mask his face for keep his face still.
4. create some contrast
5. curve again with background to make background darker
6. use "gradient map" it's the best way to make black and white picture. i reckon :D
6. doing a crop process
7. here there is!
8. then go to image>image size (or ctrl+alt+i)
9. 14x14 inches and use Bicubic Smoother (best for enlargement)
10. 14x14 inches image
11. go to image>canvas size (or ctrl+alt+c) to create border
12. put 20x20 inches and use white background
13. DONE!!

this is how I create my work from colour to black and white.
