background is showing through the hair, if dark background this will work, if light background some dodging is in order.

You can learn how to do this by searching channel based selections or selecting hair.

The other picture will be much more time consuming since the background and hair blend together much more. May I ask what are these for and is there some reason that I should spend my time doing the other one?

Here is how to do what I did. Open the file of your grandma. Go to the channels pallet. copy the Green Channel. Paint everything white on you grandma up to the edges of her hair. Don't get carried away with the edges just yet. Paint the background black. Don't worry around her hair yet either. Pick up the Dodge tool. Dodge her hair while on the highlights setting with an exposure of around five. This will give you a nice controlled way to lighten her hair. Grab the burn tool and burn the background around her hair set to shadows and about 5 exposure. Repeat as needed. You can also use the brush tool in overlay mode painting with black and white but I think the dodge/burn tool give you more control since you can select shadow/midtones/highlights and the exposure.

Cntl+M for a curves adjustment>strong contrast

Go back to the dodge and burn, turn the exposure up to 15 and dodge then burn.

Put the brush tool in overlay mode. Paint over with white.

Back to dodge and burn turn exposure up to 40

Cntrl+L for level adjustment I used these values. 11, 1.68, 208

Now cntrl click your alpha channel to select it, Alt double click the layer icon in the layers pallet, cntrl j to copy selection to a new layer and hide the background. This is similar to what you should get - the Watermark.

Finally with dodge tool set at 13 altnernate dodging the shadows and midtones till you get something like this.

Repeat till you get desired effect. This will depend upon the background it goes upon. To help it blend better, if it is a dark background, duplicate your grandma's layer and the one on the bottom set to multiply, if light background set it to screen.

Hope this helps. We are here to help not to do free projects for people.

You can apply this same technique to your moms picture how ever it will take smaller steps and it will be much more difficult since her hair blends into the background better.

thank you very much and i got the result following your guidelines....is there any thing about my mom's picture, because with the same steps the black and white cannot be distinguished..

thanks once again for the great help.

Not having too much luck with it since the backgrounds are so similiar you may have to use the pentool or quick mask and paint you a mask. The principles in the previous few post work somewhat but its not as good for this picture. Just not enough contrast between the hair and background. Another pic you can select by chance?
