    I have been asked a lot about how I process my black and white images for my Instagram. In this video I show you the basic technique I use, using curves and HSL sliders within the Darkroom app, right on my iPhone. I will also show you how to get similar results on Snapseed for you Android users. You can also take these tips and use them high end editing software like Lightroom and Photoshop.
    If you found it helpful, share it on.

    A few of you have jumped on and pointed out that if you shoot in RAW, even if you are shooting BW you will retain all the colour info. Of course you're right, and I hope these tips help you. I think the question came from an Instagrammer who is likely shooting in jpg, so the answer is geared towards those who don't shoot RAW for Instagram. I'm actually one of them. I only have a 16GB iPhone which always seems to be too full, so shooting and editing jpg from my X100 is a workflow which works well for me. RAW is saved for my professional work.

      Sean Tucker i have been using snapseed for like, 8 months, but never knew i could have so much control using colour sliders. Beautiful and easy explanation. Now i understand the hsl slider use. Thank you!

      Sean Tucker well... You know in Fuji you can shoot and keep both raw and the bw JPEG.

    @RickyKresslein Před 7 lety +5

    Thanks for the tips, Sean! I love the creative color (or lack of) and compositions of your videos. The way you did the iPhone shots with the color, zoomed in view on the right and you yourself doing the actions on the left is just awesome. Thanks for sharing.

  • @WilliamLesourd
    @WilliamLesourd Před 6 lety +3

    Listening to you explaining something, whatever, is always a delight.
    And your videos and photos are great of course.

  • @bammozingo
    @bammozingo Před 5 lety +6

    This video opened the door to a whole new B&W view for me that I never knew existed. At least that gave me the confidence to where I could create it. Thank you so much

  • @PeterArnold1969
    @PeterArnold1969 Před 7 lety +2

    Thanks, Sean. I've always wanted to learn how to properly use the black and white tools in Snapseed to create dramatic black and white shots from colour photos. Your tutorial made a lot of sense.

  • @cameronjamieson163
    @cameronjamieson163 Před 7 lety +1

    Another exceptional video thanks Sean!
    Yes please, of course we'd love to see your color editing process!
    Your incredible eye for composition is something I'd love to hear about too, how you go from walking around the streets to framing up - that part of the process. I've been walking around a lot looking for photo opportunities, even more since you suggested in a video to walk more and ride less - and sometimes I see something cool but can't seem to get the right fit in the frame like you would.
    Keep up the great work!

  • @graemewhittle1665
    @graemewhittle1665 Před 6 lety +8

    Hi there .... great video. Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out to you but in SnapSeed you do have slider control on the black and white colour filters. Just choose the filter and then move your finger left or right on the image.
    Thanks again, great info!

  • @ClaudiuC

    Yes, please, please do one on color processing as well - especially the aspect of keeping consistency you've mentioned is really interesting for me. I usually end up with results I like (using Snapseed), but they are not all that consistent. Thanks!
