I need it for a business card. It's just a picture, but the background is bluish-grey, when it needs to be grey-grey. If you guys know how to do it (i mean you can even make the background black/white of what it is now) please reply here or message/email me. Hopefully it can be done asap as I really need to send them off to get my cards printed...

I would do it myself, but I dont know how to isolate my picture, so that I can just black and white the background.

Thanks for your time and talent

Did you ever get your picture done? If you have Photoshop, there are many ways to isolate the background. You can cut a path on the foreground subject, or use the Image/Color Range to create a mask of the background. Once you have a mask created, make a new adjustment layer, and use either curves, channel mixer, color balance, or selective color (selective color on the neutrals would probably be the easiest). If you've never used Photoshop, it can get prretty complicated.

If you e-mail the pic to me, I can probably whip it out for you pretty quick.
