Re: converting to B&W in Capture One, or Convert BW Pro?

2004-01-19 by Glenn Mitchell

If you join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canon10d, you'll find a 
Tutorials folder in the Files section for the group. There are two 
tutorials for B&W conversion.

One uses Split Channels in PS. The other uses a pair of 
Hue/Saturation adjustment layers. Both techniques will provide 
*MUCH* better contrast in your B&W conversion than doing a generic 
grayscale mode conversion in PS or C1. You have more localized 
control than using Channel Mixer in PS, too.

Feel free just to join temporarily and grab the downloads. I 
moderate the group, and lots of people have done just that.

I'll have a new Web site available soon, and the tutorials will be 
available there at that point. No need to join a Yahoo! Group even 
temporarily.

The tutorials are also Adobe .PDF files. You cannot print or extract 
image details however. They are locked to protect my copyright. All 
I ask is that you do respect my copyright and use the files for your 
own work and not distribute. I don't care if you use them for 
personal work or business, just please do not redistribute them.

If the moderator of this group will agree to respect my copyright 
(meaning, I can withdraw them at anytime), I will agree to post them 
in the Files section here.

I welcome e-mail that let's me know how useful you find them and/or 
offers constructive advice.

Cheers,

Mitch
