how to make it just black&white?
It is made in photoshop you just have to play with the export setting of a gif file.
in photoshop it’s threshold + halftone screen
Here’s another way to do it:
Take your image, pump up the brightness+contrast if the image is too dark, and play around Image>Mode then choose either ‘Indexed Colors’ (for the gif look alike below. You’ll need to select only 2 colors to the palette) or ‘Bitmap’ (if this option is grayed out then make your image grayscale first), the ‘Bitmap’ option offers other options, play with them a bit.
Don’t forget to turn back the mode to RGB after that

To color it in, just add a new layer on top, fill it with color and set the mode to multiply or darken)
Thats they way I woudl do it. Except I would slap a layer style on it set the blend mode to overlay, then check group blends, the slap a color overlay over that. This way you can play a lil freely. GJ mlk.
indeed a better way to do it… :beam:
my problem solved…thanks everyone.
