Welcome, Ezz!

There are so many free actiopns and filters out there you could go blind looking at them 
all. One I have used and liked very much is Greg Gorman's B&W action. Try this link and 
scroll down to find the download. I hope it's useful for you!

best,
Sarah

Re: [Digital BW] B/W Filters

2007-01-25 by Douglas meeuwsen

I have tried many of them and have settled on the "power retouche  
studio Black and white" plugin for photo shop. It is fairly  
inexpensive, about 40 dollars or so. It works great and the controls  
are very intuitive, and the results are superb. Much better than some  
of the plugins available. DM

RE: [Digital BW] Re: B/W Filters

2007-01-25 by Bob Hove

Mohamed - aside from BWstyler (which I have and like) there are many others:

virtualPhotographer is free - http://www.optikvervelabs.com/

Cybia's BWplus is free (and they have a somewhat more advanced version for
$8.00) http://www.cybia.co.uk/bwplus.htm

Exposure from Alien Skin is expensive but I like it - $149.00.  The nice
thing about this one is the demo download is fully functional for 30 days so
you can really give it a good try.
http://www.alienskin.com/exposure/index.html

Black & White Studio from Power Retouche is the one I have been using most
frequently lately - also pricey ($75.00) I don't know if you can print with
the demo - I bought it on the recommendation of a friend.

I have been using "B/W" Styler for quite a while now. It's a
comprehensive tool and I do recommend it  - but you have to get used
to it. Sometimes I still use "TheImagingFactory" "ConvertToBW" another
excellent tool, which perhaps is a bit more straightforward,
especeially for those who used to work in the "wet lab". - chatzebussi

I don't have any experience with this plug-in, but, frankly, I'm not sure
I'd ever use one of these types of programs.

What I do with digital images is simply work in Photoshop and  split the
channels (see the upper right arrow on the Channels palette).  This allows
me to look at the information in each channel, and clone into a working
grayscale file the best of it from each of the channels.  Since the image is
the same, it's easy to align the clone tool on the upper left corner,
looking at the (x, y) coordinates on information palette.  I prefer the
control this approach gives. Photoshop can do it all.

Hello Ezz!

Try the Russell Brown web site...www.russellbrown.com/downloads.  There is a lot of information here but there is one download available called Black and White Variations.  Give it a try...there are several b & w conversion techniques included in the  zip file.  Good luck!

innova f-type glossy

2007-01-26 by Douglas meeuwsen

got my box of innova  f-type glossy today. I guess I was expecting  
more.....
On the epson 2400, i would describe it as:

The look and feel of cheap epson glossy paper, with all of the gloss  
differential of epson premium luster. This paper does not impress me.  
The image quality is great, and the warmish tone is great too, but  
the gloss diffential and bronzing are exactly the same as the epson  
papers, which are about half the price.

I wonder if the innova semi-matte has these problems. I read glowing  
reports the f-type gloss, but as far as I can see, there is nothing  
new here. Even the surface has been around for years as cheap epson  
glossy. I would say that epson premium semi gloss and semi-matte are  
both superior on the 2400. The epson ultra premium glossy is better  
too. Oh well, live and learn. Doug M

Re: innova f-type glossy

2007-01-26 by Tyler Boley

this doesn't even sound like the same paper. The Innova F-type gloss I've used no doubt 
also glowingly reported on here. It's certainly not warm, much less gloss differential them 
Premium Luster, and bears no resemblence to my memory of cheap Epson gloss or any 
other papers for that matter...
Aside from appearances it definitely does not feel cheap, but thick and substantial.
All this stuff is subjective and we will not all like the same materials, sorry you didn't like 
it.
But it almost sounds like the wrong paper...

I do recommend Harald Heim's "B/W" Styler. It's very comprehensive and
has loads of very useful and time-saving presets - chatzebussi

Re: [Digital BW] B/W Filters

2007-01-26 by Peter Marshall

Hi Mohamed,

B/W Styler works well. I reviewed it a month or two back. There is a 
brief intro at:
http://photography.about.com/od/imageprocessing/gr/bwstyler.htm
and a fuller feature at 
http://photography.about.com/od/digital/ss/bwstyler.htm

If you just want to produce decent b/w from colour you don't need to buy 
anything of course. There are all sorts of fancy methods on the web (as 
well as over-straightforward ones that don't always give the kind of 
results I want.)

At http://photography.about.com/od/digital/ss/advbwconv.htm I do a 
step-by-step through the way I prefer using Photoshop. CS3 has a better 
tool for the spectral response, so if I upgrade to that I'd change part 
of my sequence.

I think BW Styler is worth getting if you want to make use of a fair 
range of its effects on a regular basis, but otherwise just use Photoshop.

Regards,

Peter

Hello Ezz,

There are so good many b-w conversion techniques avalable for free.
Already, some of them have been posted. Here's some more:

Re: innova f-type glossy

2007-01-26 by john dean

I think this is a very fine paper even if it is too expensive right
now. It has become extremely popular with people using the K3 inksets
on it. If it looks cheap something is wrong with the workflow. It
certainly is thick enough. You know they do make a warm version of it
now similar to Silver Rag. I think we all would like to see a little
less texture but evidently that is coming if it isn't already
available. When it is sprayed with Premier Art it really comes together.

Re: [Digital BW] innova f-type glossy

2007-01-26 by Michael Kitei

I use it on the 1280 with mis inks for B&W. Goodbye gloss diff and  
bronzing. I think the problem is with the epson inks. It' pretty much  
my go-to paper.

Re: [Digital BW] B/W Filters

Mohamed, there are lots of excellent photoshop actions for  
converting to bw images that are free.  Two of my favorites are:

		thelightsrightstudio.com - TLR B&W Conversion and TLR B&W Toning
		www.gormanphotography.com - Gorman-Holbert BW Conversion

	I really like the Gorman action for conversion and the TLR B&W  
Toning for toning.

Re: [Digital BW] Re: innova f-type glossy plus spray

2007-01-26 by Douglas meeuwsen

I guess I should have said that it is a thicker version of the old  
epson "glossy photo paper". It is a good paper.
What I have is definitely not a bright white paper.  Next to premium  
luster, it has pleasant creme color, at least in incandescent light.  
It is thick, but the surface is exactly like "epson glossy photo  
paper" (which is a  paper some people like for it's surface...not too  
glossy). There was even a piece of hair built into the paper. i dont see
how the gloss differential is subjective however. There is a lot of  
gloss diff. Even more than epson ultra premium gloss. I will say that  
after applying print sheild, it is much better, and the print sheild  
actually improves the surface of the paper. With all of the other  
papers I have tried, print sheild shows blobs and spraying artifacts  
and made the surface pretty ugly. It's like the makers have figured  
the spray into the workflow. With spray there is still gloss  
differential after four light coats, but it looks quite good. Better  
than any epson paper with spray. Still it would be nice to have a  
paper that does not need this step. That would be a "breakthrough".

Re: innova f-type glossy

2007-01-26 by Neil Swanson

Hey all

I might know the answer.  You may remember my trouble
with the MIS UT7 ink set I was having with my 2200.

While I waited for replacement UT7 carts I went with
QTR and Epson OE color inks for my B&W.  All in all a
nice easy way to print.

But to the Innova problem. I find with QTR and Innova
does look and bronze very much like the Epson Luster
paper.  Nice finish, better nicer weight but I think I
know what he means.

QTR uses PK for Innova.  MIS UT7 uses MK with Innova
and it is a whole new paper with MK.  

Maybe he read reviews of a 3rd party inks results on
Innova? 

 I'd rather use MK and QTR with Epson ink but oddly it
doesn't really look any different than PK.  I expected
a diference but barely saw any.  Something about the
UT7s and Innova, a great combo IMO.

RE: [Digital BW] B/W Filters

2007-01-28 by Tom Baker

I wouldn't use the premade filters.  But, I have a different approach than Paul.  I do ALL of the processing for the b&w images in RAW mode.  In my case, that means Nikon NX for processing the NEF files.  Maybe the next version of PS will have RAW conversion that matches NX for quality.  But, at this point, NX provides a superior RAW converter.  Unfortunately, Nikon's support SUCKS.

I don't have any experience with this plug-in, but, frankly, I'm not sure
I'd ever use one of these types of programs.

What I do with digital images is simply work in Photoshop and split the
channels (see the upper right arrow on the Channels palette). This allows
me to look at the information in each channel, and clone into a working
grayscale file the best of it from each of the channels. Since the image is
the same, it's easy to align the clone tool on the upper left corner,
looking at the (x, y) coordinates on information palette. I prefer the
control this approach gives. Photoshop can do it all.

[Digital BW] Re: innova f-type glossy

2007-01-29 by Keith R.

Hi there!

Just got a 25 sheet pack of the Innova Semimatte last week from a 
local outlet. Ran a quick profile(with PrintFix Pro) then did a test 
print with a Bill Atkinson test image. Very smooth, no glare finish 
with good color. I tend to like the semimatte finish in general, and 
with using the PK black, you get more snap with the blacks(better D-
max IMO). I asked my local supplier about stocking Innova last summer
(he already stocked Crane SR and Hahnemuhle FA Pearl)and he said that 
he saw no reason to. Then Innova won a few awards and now he stocks 
Innova. My first impression is that I'm going to like it a lot. Can't 
wait to try some B&W with it. I'm using a 4800 with Epson K3.

could peel it off? Does  the ink have a gloss to it? Thanks, Doug M

Thanks Jim

As always I can depend on you to give me the straight "skinny". Send me a roll of this to try to see how it compares to my other favorite papers e.g. Hahnemuhle Fine art Pearl and Crane Silver museo. I am anxious to see if there is a way to get some of the properties of the more "glossy" papers and a true matte finish. This should be very interesting

Hi Elwood and Gang

 

The Semi Matte Is a little whiter in the base No gloss at all and Blacks
measure out the same.. 

 

Rolls are all available and Sheets Its Only 8.5x11 & 17x22 Hopefully within
the month the other two sheet sizes will become available..

 

Cheers

hi Mohamed and Peter... 

do try the new Photoshop CS3 beta... the B&W conversion is greatly improved, giving slider 
access to all 6 colors.  Russell Brown has a nice tutorial and demo at 

  http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/CS3Color_To_BWSM.mov

in addition to the base sliders, you can click on the image and a slider for that color 
appears...   way too much control for me..lol  however, it does lack the automated one 
click things common on most plug ins..

Chuck, thanks for the info and link!
I must say, these advertisements masked as tutorials put my shorts in a

.
BW “slider-type-tools” makes it very easy to introduce “digital” artifacts
into the image by pulling the noisy portion of the data out of hiding.  The
split channels method that Paul Roark suggested allows you to see what you
are putting into your converted image, but it’s so much harder to learn.
Has anyone seen in-depth coverage of the technique in a book or workshop?

Yes, and from a spot color image, not something with photographic content as 
well... the historgram if this image would be mostly gaps anyways, as there

[Digital BW] Re: innova f-type glossy

2007-01-29 by Keith R.

IMO, no, the ink does not seem to sit on top. The Innova Semimatte, is 
not a RC paper. It is a fiber type paper like the Hahnemuhle Fine Art 
Pearl. The print is not completely flat, after all it is "semimatte", 
not matte. Comparing it to Fine Art Pearl, the Innova Semimatte does 
not have the same surface sheen as the Pearl, but has more snap than 
say a traditional matte paper.

I'm not sure how the UT7 QTR curves are made, but with the Photoshop UT7
curves I made for glossy papers I generated the 100% black from the dark
midtone grays.  As such, even though MK is in the printer, it's not used
with the glossy paper curves.

Hey all

I might know the answer. You may remember my trouble
with the MIS UT7 ink set I was having with my 2200.

While I waited for replacement UT7 carts I went with
QTR and Epson OE color inks for my B&W. All in all a
nice easy way to print.

But to the Innova problem. I find with QTR and Innova
does look and bronze very much like the Epson Luster
paper. Nice finish, better nicer weight but I think I
know what he means.

QTR uses PK for Innova. MIS UT7 uses MK with Innova
and it is a whole new paper with MK. 

Maybe he read reviews of a 3rd party inks results on
Innova? 

I'd rather use MK and QTR with Epson ink but oddly it
doesn't really look any different than PK. I expected
a diference but barely saw any. Something about the
UT7s and Innova, a great combo IMO.

Re: [Digital BW] B/W Filters

2007-01-30 by craig

Basically, in the end, all of the colour to B&W conversion
applications are more or less the same; they use variations in the
colour channels to shift tonality. The simple channel mixer style
approach suffers two pimary limitations, 1) it cannot maintain
luminosity while altering the intensity of a particular colour
filtering, and 2) it only works on primary colour filtration.

Personally, I prefer The Imaginingfactory "Convert to B&W Pro" but
thats merely a preference. However, like most of these applications it
DOES maintain luminosity while adjusting a single filtration colour
and it DOES offer both primary and secondary colour filtration options.

As for the additional control to emulate the tonality of particular
B&W emuslsions, this is really gimmicky as you are already beginning
with a modified tonal interpretation in the colour representation that
differs significantly from how the B&W emulsion would have responded.

The main point I wanted to make in this post is a technique for B&W
conversion from colour that I never see mentioned anywhere. Regardless
of whatever method or application you use, I often find that certain
parts of an image appear better under different filtration colours. As
an example, where a scene may basically work well with a yellow
filter, people with dark skin in the same image can appear much better
with some degree of red filtration.

The approach is to pre-filter the colour image (in Photoshop) for a
particular section and, if just one, mark it as a history state, or if
more, take snap shots. Then go to the state the satisfies the majority
of the image and by sequentially marking the other states as history,
paint these section back in with the history brush.

This is an example where multiple tone pre-filtering was necessary to
both stop the skin tones from being too dark and to provide tonal
separation between the coloured patterns on the dress:

http://flickr.com/photos/craygc/300148569/in/set-72157594381329667/

...but in conclusion, although I often like both the final result and
ease of starting with a colour image for B&W; I still think they lack
a level of luminosity or acctuance in the final image.

RE: [Digital BW] B/W Filters

If I need to adjust specific colors to a particular density, I do just that.
It was shown to me 4 years or so back at a workshop that I set up for Dan
Burkholder. Works like a charm. Take your pick and run some conversions with
Lightroom or what ever and just lay them on top of each other until you have
all the right elements working like you want. What I like best is to have
separate layers imported so you don't lose your ability to tweak later as
the snap shots can be lost if you don't save a state as a separate file.

Re: [Digital BW] Re: innova f-type glossy

2007-01-30 by Douglas Meeuwsen

When I said "cheap" i was simply refering to the similarity of the surface to that of the old epson "Cheap" glossy photo paper. This is a diferent paper than the epson premium glossy, which is way more expensive. "Cheap epson photo paper" actually has a pretty nice surface which is exactly the same (almost) as fiba print F. The innova paper is thick. A thick version of the old epson "cheap" glossy photo paper, which is half the price of epson "premium glossy photo paper" which looks and feels like plastic. The innova surface is not something brand new to digital printing. Also, any paper that needs to be sprayed in order to "come together" is simply not a breakthrough paper. many people and articlles have described the innova as a breakthrough paper. Give me a break, ... it has a lot of gloss diff, and needs to be sprayed. It should say that in the reviews and product descriptions. Doug M

now similar to Silver Rag. I think we all would like to see a little
less texture but evidently that is coming if it isn't already
available. When it is sprayed with Premier Art it really comes together.

I've heard most of their lines by now.  Including 'reloading your operating system will solve the problem".  Unfortunately, the output from the NEF coverter is visably better than any other converter I have tried.  So, I put up with agrevation. I can do everything I need to do the the files in RAW mode.  Most of my prints don't see Photoshop except to put text on them.

Maybe it's a difference in work flow, printer, or ink, but I see no need for
any overcoat spray on the over 60 prints that I have made recently for a
couple of shows using this paper.

I see no gloss differential at all.

Yes, I am using the K3 inks on a R2400.

Color me completely satsified. Now back to the making of my next 30
prints...

Dave.

I also see no objectionable GD or bronzing using MIS K4 inks in an  
Epson 4000 (CB X-Photo RIP).  No need for spraying this paper.

I may not be a need but a preferred look. I'd not rush to the GD or Bronzing
as a factor unless they said so. Did I miss that?
