Raw, I made three copies and then I forgot the settings, oops.

Photoshop, cropped square, rezied to DPC, USM 85,.7,0 or so, created a layer filled with 50% gray, set to overlay, dodged and burned on layer. Converted to black/white with dual hue/sat layers bottom on soft light (hue-25, sat0, lightness0, coorize), and the top hue/sat just sat -100.

Had to also duplicate the main layer and dodge/burn on that after noticing that the 50% layer wasn't fully able to even the tones. The chuch is lit by sodium vapor bulbs and not very evenly.
