How do I create a 2 color only picture? Example attached

[oicclouds1]

* I no longer have my Paint Shop manual and I don't know what "this" is called to search here or in my help section of my software.

I have Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, version 12.00

I want to change a pic I have of Jimi Hendrix like the one below so I can sketch it onto a canvas. I have played around with Photo shop and read my help section and am just more confused. Please help!!

Thank you! ~Vicki

Three ways to do this (among many). I'm using X3 but I believe the names are the same.
1) click Image> Decrease> 2 color palette.
2) click Adjust> Brightness and Contrast> Threshold.
3) click Affects> Artistic Affects> Halftone and set it to monochrome.

1 giving you the least amount of control, 3 giving you the most.

Thank you, this is what I needed! I am playing around to get a better idea of how everything works!
