October 2010: Black/White Conversion

Photo.net Monthly ProjectOctober 2010


These days, if you are shooting digital, everything is color. Sure, sure, the film guys can take advantage of the beautiful black and white films that are still around. But for those of us who play in the world of 1's and 0's, getting a black and white image almost always starts with a color image.

So this month, let's work on creating some nice digital black and white images. Still shooting film? Heck, you can play too. Just run a roll of color through the old beast and then scan and convert with the rest of us. Got questions on the best ways to convert color to black and white? Allow me to introduce you to the friendly folks over in the Photo.net Digital Darkroom forum.
