Turn black and white and then create adjustment layer, choose 'levels' and slide the black and white apart/together.

Makes the black look 'blacker' if that's possible lol

To finalise and save as .jpg, flatten the layers and save as .jpg or whatever format you need it to be.

Cut out your image that you want, convert to B&W, raise contrast and add a black layer below. Unless there's something I don't see?
