    Mark, you've just changed my entire black/white editing game. Thanks so much!!

  • @Andyhutchinson
    @Andyhutchinson Před rokem +9

    One of the few Tubetographers actually coming up with some original edit techniques that I haven't seen six thousand times before. Most of the time it's "drop the highlights, boost the shadows". Nice one.

    @DynastyUK Před rokem +8

    I've been doing this a while by just pissing around. Something to add to this, Alt click when saving a preset and save it as a Profile. That way you can adjust the HSL even further, since it's still technically a colour image not BW. also, you would just have to add the clarity after but it's better that way since u can just add it on a mask

  • @swisselle
    @swisselle Před rokem +2

    yes... the name of that preset is 100% accurate. I thought I would never nail the art of black&white editing. But with this... WOW. I guess I won't why away again if someone wants shots in b&w. Thanks so much for this!

  • @wxyz237
    @wxyz237 Před 2 měsíci +1

    I thought this guy must be crazy when I first started watching the video! Nobody creates B&W by turning down saturation... But then I saw the results. Excellent. Now I'm trying to get my head around why it works so well. I'm pretty sure similar results could be obtained with more conventional techniques. But happy to be proved wrong.

    @Reckless917 Před rokem +11

    I was about to start posting some black and white portraits tomorrow, did a re-edit and they look so much cleaner thanks to your instructions. Thanks a lot!

  • @slavaskvorcov
    @slavaskvorcov Před rokem +2

    I like the way you’re explaining this: focusing on subject’s details and our perceptions, not on tools👌

  • @CostaMesaPhotography
    @CostaMesaPhotography Před rokem +12

    I'll give this a try. I have a similar technique which begins with desaturated each color as you showed, but then I adjust the luminance sliders for each color to achieve the desired look. Your technique which adds changing the color temp and tint looks interesting...I'll work it into my next conversion!

    • @froggyjosh
      @froggyjosh Před rokem

      How did it go? Did you try it? What were the results?

  • @Harker777
    @Harker777 Před rokem +1

    Just set up the preset according to your advice expecting a 'So what?' result.
    It's so much better than any B&W preset I had. Thank you.

  • @jonathanusha3224
    @jonathanusha3224 Před rokem +2

    Thank you for your video instruction.
    Tried it on some of my Raw photos. it works like a charm without any special effort to over editing and or guess editing.
    Just an advice for photos that are JPEGs or not exposed as they should/over saturation etc, one needs to remove any previous editing and than use this editing method for converting to B&W.

  • @ldouglass6
    @ldouglass6 Před rokem +2

    Excellent! Thank you for sharing. I always struggle to convert my color shots to B&W to my satisfaction. This tutorial has been a big help.

  • @Tyreman22
    @Tyreman22 Před rokem +1

    This has made a big difference to the way I process my images.

  • @Retset
    @Retset Před rokem +4

    Thanks not just for the settings but also to encourage some bravery whilst crushing the blacks! I still use your other technique for desaturating and selectively adding back colour - really works well on some images and has actually rescued a couple that just were not working.

  • @NeilSlater
    @NeilSlater Před 2 měsíci

    Thanks for this. I've been using it as part of the toolset for a while now, saved as a preset to work as a starting point at least. I often don't use NIK as much as i used to. Two things though - I wish it was possible to find a way to get this less "green dependent" and use an alternative. Images with grass or green in get blown out in those areas. But, it's easy to forget that the image is still "in colour" so you have to be really careful if you use any of the other presets or AI presets like "enhance eyes" or "enhance clothing" etc. They push the saturation up and you get eyes with a green tint 😉

    Great stuff! I dialed in these adjustments on my Ricoh Gr iiix jpeg settings. You can add same white balance adjustment and a +100 green color filter. Gonna do some comparisons to see i am achieving the same effect. Thanks for this!

  • @brentmiller3250
    @brentmiller3250 Před 6 měsíci

    It’s always nice to see another way of converting to B/W. I’ll probably stick with my method, but I’m keeping your technique in my back pocket, just in case. Thanks for taking the time to share your process.

    Yes, that Tint slider is the key point how to adjust the natural tones on the photo, I usually get perfect results for portraits at the value -30

    great channel Mark. Love your approach - fast and yet clear, you touch on what you're doing with enough detail to allow the learner to grasp what you are doing - all in the service of making great images / art.
    See you're up in Scotland from time to time - I love Glencoe ('I'm from the west coast), tho living in Dundee, am appreciating the east coast light!
    Keep up the great work!

    This is cool. I really like BNW portraits and I've often been frustrated thinking I was seeing greys instead of blacks in my editing. I only have the free version of Capture One for editing right now. But, I should be able to make a similar edit there. Thanks for the tip!

Just need more time to play properly. Need to try this on my IR images next and see if I can infuse this into some custom profiles I use for IR [for expanding 'temperature' range]!
