Question

How can I copy old brown newsprint to black and white?

Community Answer

Take a digital picture of it or scan it, then use a photo-editing program to remove the "color" from the photo. The result is a nearly B&W image. Photos, built into Windows 10, has the capability. Load the picture of the newspaper you took, select Edit & Create, Filters, Vanilla. Then vary Enhance and Intensity to get the desired result.

Question

Can I laminate the newspaper?

Community Answer

It is not a good idea, as laminating tends to destroy newspaper. The paper is delicate and adhesives rip it with ease.
