Program: Illustrator CS2

Problem: I want to change my photo into two colors only. Black and White. I don't work much in Illustrator, so I am unsure how.

illustrator doesnt work with raster photos. if you mean you want to Live Trace it, use that feature in the Options menu.


if you mean you want to greyscale your picture, just use photoshop.

No, greyscale is one color.

Greyscale isn't one color. It is black and white... just the professional name for it.

Greyscale is just converting the image to white and shades of black and you don't want that, right? Having only black and white is going to take some creative work. It would also depend on the photo because I don't think something like a filter will do that.
