  • Decrease Saturation if image is colored.
  • Adjust the lightness and curve adjustments to set the contrast
  • Posterize the image in a new layer
  • Select the Shades of grey [:P] and smooth-en the selection and paint in the selection in a new layer.
  • Add another layer of curve adjustment for finishing touch.

Hope that helps.
