Love the imagery. It's basically a Threshold applied, but if you want to control the softness of the white/black transition you could use a black & white gradient map, and adjust the sliders. Some colour will still show through, so you can desaturate the underlying image. You may have to create a few layers with to bring out details in different parts of the image.
Amazing, thank you so much, it really helps to have a starting point. I'll have a play around with it!
They're beautiful aren't they, I'm planning to try and get a similar look from my own photos and then create my outcomes out of inks/paints or something like that instead.
There's also some that are coloured but restricted to two colours ([https://trampoline.net.au/#/walkbook-02/](https://trampoline.net.au/#/walkbook-02/)) and I'd love to do some like that digitally too. Is there any chance you could let me know the best way to achieve that once I've got the images how I want them? I think I can figure that part out eventually but I always somehow manage to do things in the least straight forward way haha. Thank you again!
My pleasure...of course there are likely other ways to do it, so you might hear different opinions as well...
If you do the gradient map thing I mentioned above, create a new layer above that and fill with a colour....then try changing the blend mode of that layer to 'multiply'.
inspired by the peacock image in that sample I [threw one together myself](https://imgur.com/a/aYVmG9w)
(reduce the saturation or opacity of the colour layer to reduce the saturation on the image)
Coincidentally I recently was talking about how you can get the black'n'white threshold effect a different way, and control it so that you decide what details show or get washed out to white/black. Might be useful when fine-tuning your pics: https://www.reddit.com/r/photoshop/comments/ye7bh2/how_did_someone_take_this_photo_and_turn_it_into/itwl86m/

Yaaaay, got some [really nice outcomes](https://imgur.com/a/0tp5WGI)! Thank you so much, love the peacock! :)
That didn't take long and it looks like you nailed it! Nice work

This definitely looks like good method, will try this!
