  1. Thanks! This will be processed in b/w - so I might try and just be patient with masking. Any tips?
  2. Hi there I have a request for this light background to be changed to a solid black. Is there an easy way to do this and retain the hair without it looking like she is cut out? I tried to follow you "replace background behind hair" but got stuck when I had to duplicate the layer at the end. Thanks
  3. I use your "damiens bw method" action that I downloaded ages ago and then play around with levels usually to get the look I'm after. On a side-note I'm going to re-visit all the RAW class info again too, as I feel I could improve on my raw processing.
  4. Ok thanks. Looks like I need to revisit my b/w editing process then! What is the usually culprit for not having a true b/w? Any advice is appreciated as I'd like to get this right going forward. My workflow is edit in colour first and then I issue the clients a colour and a b/w copy of each image.
  5. Thank so much. Yes I have a few of my own images that I've had printed in b/w from the same lab. I've got one in front of me and cannot notice this affect. Here is the jpeg of the printed image I'm looking at. Is there any way to avoid this sort of thing?
  6. So I'm not sure if this is a print issue or a post-production issue, but I've just recently started having some issues with prints from my lab. I have no idea what the right word is for this problem, but my prints are coming back with any highlight/light areas quite blown out. It's also highlighting any imperfections (which are barely noticeable on screen - I think it's called artefacts but not sure) on solid colour backgrounds (blankets etc). I've attached an example. First a phone screen shot of the print itself, along with the edited jpeg that I sent off to my lab. Is this something I am doing wrong? If I zoom into the image I can see the problem, but the prints seem to come back amplifying it. The feedback from the lab was the make sure any levels work is done first to avoid this type of issue. Thanks for your help.
