Fascinating. I hate semi-randomly moving sliders around until it “looks right,” although I have done that myself. A future discussion on how to develop a strategy for in advance slider changes would be useful. I guess that would be kind of a “how to balance a B&W image” discussion.
Very informative video Anthony. A lot of positive info there. One thing I've found useful in B&W, especially finding presets, is Silver effects pro. Has saved a lot of time. Best wishes for the New Year from the UK
Hi Anthony, and thanks for another great video. Once again I learned something I'd forgotten and something I didn't think about. But one thing you didn't mention as well; The built in Black and White Presets. They also have a lot to offer. Anyway, it's just a minor detail. I hope you and your family had a reasonable Christmas, Covid considered, and I hope you have a better year next year. Cheers.
I'm a very good black and white editor, but I found a trick or two here I should have thought of before now, but didn't. They'll be helpful; Maybe missed it, but I didn't see anything that looked like a keystone correction icon here. Is that just in Ps?
Great tips! I just wish I could embrace B&W! I just cannot find it in my being to take shots with $5k camera gear that I could only achieve with a Canon Powershot 20 years ago! Oh well ...
I can't believe you do not even consider using presence controls for B&W. There is often something missing after I have done what you have shown . To give a B&W photo more punch, pop, clarity, contrast, make the image seem more alive, etc., I will use the texture, clarity and even dehaze sliders. Yes, they require a lighter touch, especially the latter. Lastly, I will go to the tone curve. May times I will process in colour using most everything I have described above to point where the contrast/saturation seems like overkill in colour and then convert to B&W. Then it is often close to what I want in a B&W image, requiring only some tweaks here and there.

Thank you!
In a nutshell, viewing my second video on this channel - confession - I'm a fan!
Very well explained, always enjoy your videos Anthony... I Love the calibration sliders, use them extensively in my works
Thanks Anthony! Appreciate this; and all your videos 😃
Thanks Anthony...Very useful, not seen this from anyone before
Very informative and helpful video. Many thanks!
Great suggestions for b\w in LR, Tony. Thanks. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Very informative. Thanks.
Nice video! I prefer to use the channel mixer in photoshop in conjunction with hue saturation (adjustment layer) and curves.
Thanks Anthony, useful set of tips particularly points 4 & 5 which I wasn't aware of.
