That worked great. I have no idea what the last step was for. When I tried it the whole thing went yellow and I couldn't change it.

I used history to delete the 'fill' action and I am happy enough with the results.

Thanks once again and especially for making the vid for me.

The last thing is to change the "blend mode"...Look at the top of your layers..I used a color image here, so i didnt go yellow....the yellow in the color blend mode will give you close to a creme tint with a B&W image

Howcho - To elaborate on Mike's comments, the reason for the last step (ie, add a tinge of yellow) is that if you use a B&W adjustment layer, as suggested by Colleague, the result is an RGB image that has no color tint whatsoever. It is pure grayscale. However, your original photo has a very slight warm / cream tint, typical of photos that have aged, so, if you want to reproduce that look, you have to take an extra step to uniformly add the cream tint to the entire print. This is what his extra step does, although, the intent would have been clearer if he had suggested using a cream (ie, weakly saturated yellow) layer, not a "yellow" layer at low opacity.
