kahlanne Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Recently I shot my friend's birth of twins and while I got some great shots, there were ones that I struggled with. Most of the issue came when there was a bright light pointed at one spot that was different than the overall lighting. I didn't realize this and had many with lots of really badly blown spots. I have one image in particular that I think could be great but I need help. My friend only wants black and white and I am struggling with the overall "grey-ness" of the photo after I convert it. I am not sure how to make the focus, the baby, pop more. Can you help? I haven't sharpened at all in the edited version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you haven't taken the Levels Class yet. It will rock your world, I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahlanne Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Thanks so much. I actually did take the levels class. I need to go back and work through the steps again. I did before I converted to black and white but went crazy with it once converted. Do you mind telling me how you convert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahlanne Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Well, look at that. I haven't taken the levels class only the Layers and Mask and Raw Class. Somehow I missed it. Thanks for pointing that out. Do you usually take it before Raw Class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 No, Photoshop editing always comes after raw processing, and so it is with the classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahlanne Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Great. Is there a waiting list for the Levels class? If not, I am going to sign up as soon as payday arrives. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 No waiting list, no. But I have to approve you. Please go ahead and apply right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
