Overlay Fade

Load your image and convert it to grayscale or B&W. To convert your image to black and white go to IMAGE>MODE>GRAYSCALE then convert it back to RGB.


Make a gradient background layer. A pure black or white background will not work with this effect and other backgrounds which are either too dark or too bright.

Paste the image on a new layer on top of the gradient background.

Then go to the layers palette and change the layer mode from normal to overlay of the image on top of the background. Reduce to opacity to get a softer effect on the image.
