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.
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!
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!
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
Perfect editing approach, Mark, and thanks a lot for sharing. 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
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.
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.
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!
Hi Mark, great new approach to B&W editing! I will definitively try it myself. Thanks for this fresh idea. The results you showed are really worth a try. Greetings from Vienna, Enver
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.
I think you are correct calling it perfect black and white ... i tried your setting on my colour image and your technique where for long time i was on search for my B&W images ... can you do some more please with Landscapes .... Thanks
Well done, Mark. I just found your channel and I love it. Like button clicked and subscribed. I will also save this video and once I get home (shhh I'm watching this whilst at work lol) and play around with some of my photos using this technique. Thank you.
Great. Really like your approach to editing. I always take bits and bobs from your editing style which has really made me become more versed and confident. Thank you.
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.
Thank you Mark, always learn something quick and fast with you, something that always improves my editing, my workflow and my general life 🎉 Thanks buddy. Owe you a drink.
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!

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!
I like the way you’re explaining this: focusing on subject’s details and our perceptions, not on tools👌
Fantastic tutorial, Mark! Good on you for thinking out of the box
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!

How did it go? Did you try it? What were the results?
This is so cool! Love B&W Pictures but always struggled to prevent them from looking washed out - not with this method!
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.
i tuoi consigli e la tua competenza sono sempre preziosi
Amazing tutorial thank you so much.
Just like your other video on editing in colour using B&W this is brilliant!! I am trying it out as we speak...
