Thanks in advance.
The second can be achieved with Image > Convert to Black and White with a conversion method of Line Art. Adjusting the threshold controls the relative amounts of black and white.
For the first, which still shows some grey levels:
Open in photopaint, and Adjust > Desaturate if it is not already a black and white photo.
Then Adjust > Tone Curves. Set style to straight and add a couple of points:
Now experiment with moving those those extra points (or add more if you like). The more vertical the centre section, the sharper the contrast.
Hi Jerome.
More or less the same Harry´s method.
