Re: [Digital BW] Color to BW: resources for learning how

2014-12-04 by David Kachel

My son teen age has shown an interest in learning how to craft BW prints. He uses Photoshop CC (through school) and the method taught in class is "desaturate."

Not surprised. \u201cDesaturate\u201d was the \u201cgo to\u201d for quite a long time. It could not possibly be more incorrect.
I have a new blog where I addressed that problem at length just recently.
The address appears below.
