How to create an EPIC Black and White Photo

i love the way you edit frm philippines

It was really good in color too !

Where there's light, there are shadows - but not in your image processing😲

I'm addicted to color but I have lately become interested in black and white. I have an old copy of Nik Silver Effex, and I've been trying it out on some of my photos. I love the effect. When I can afford the newer program, I'll get it.

I am from Austria and l love the way you are explaining the steps you do. Very helpful for me. Thank you

Excellent run through your process. You filled in some gaps in my approach and highlighted some ways I hadn’t considered, thanks. One cheeky note. Where the bin man was removed there is a random bit of horizontal rail not going to a post. Once you see its odd. 😂

Thank You for another great learning experience. I do like silver effects, added more detail.

Would like to have seen it with the water feature all in it too, without cropping it you could have kept the sky in as well.

thank you very informative. Why did you change from lasso to remove too?

cctv cameras......

Great, but why dont you use Solo mode in the menu bar ,instead of scrolling up and down .just saying.

Love Black & White, and you do it so well.......Thanks so much Jamie

Thank you for another great tutorial

Excellent Jamie. However, the railings on the left really annoy me

I am just an amateur photographer. I am of the opinion that even with digital cameras, the use of B & W contrast filters is useful. May I ask you your opinion on that?

How can you find out how many tokens you have used?

The black and white looks fantastic Jamie. I like how you take the time to explain your process. I have learnt to use radial and linear gradients in my general photography. Even done a few day to night shots from the inspiration from your videos.

Fantastic video Jamie. Love your B & W conversion, given me a few pointers as I have Silver Efex ( the original free version ) Have to say though, your colour image is amazing. Your attention to detail is without compromise , and it shows in the final edit. Well done.

may I ask which focal length this photo was taken with?

I personally prefer Silver Efex as I feel it give more latitude for adjustments to film, grain, and potential for boarders. However many great tips and tricks, keep up the good work.

Jamie, another great video. Thank you.

It’s okay for you to use third party software which would choose for those of us that want to watch the cost of software for black and white please

Nice as always Jamie. It may not be your style but have you ever tried to replicate pictorialism? They say it can't be reproduced digitally. I love the style at any rate.

Another great video jamie

This really is epic!!!

Thanks for sharing
