April H. Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'm sure this is some type of preset but I'd like to know how to achieve this look with a b/w conversion. https://www.facebook.com/KalaRathPhotography/photos/a.194704447257992.46785.194668813928222/885154158213014/?type=3&theater I've attached one of my images that I feel has similar shadows and highlights. I did not see any requirements for image size so I apologize in advance if my image is too large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 You'll need a photo with dark hair, not blonde, and definitely without any sky (or any light areas at all) in the background. Or, can you find a different example photo which is more like yours? Then post your clean-processed black-and-white edit for us to apply the style to. (Your size is fine, by the way - the forum automatically shrinks oversized files, so you can't go wrong.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April H. Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ok, will this work? Her hair was questionable but I couldn't find one with all brunettes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yes, it'll work. But gosh, a clean-processed black-and-white please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April H. Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yes, sorry. I went back to the original raw file and re-edited cleanly. See if this one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ok, so this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Download the PSD I have to go out for a while, I'll check in and see what you think of it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April H. Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I would say that was close to the example I posted. And I am cracking up at your subtle way of telling me how you feel about this editing style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April H. Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 But I don't particularly like it on my image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Oh yeah, it looks like utter shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
