[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This man was sitting on a bench at the Shanghai pier. The color image of him was not very interesting but converting the image to black and white helped. In this case I was not happy with the channel mixer or the lightness channel (Lab Mode), so I worked with the blue channel, adjusted the exposure levels, adjusted the shadows and highlights and used a photofilter to convert to sepia.

Hi Roger,
Excellent work on BW! Perfect exposure and sharpness and sepia tone too.

Hi Roger

The conversion has worked well. The selected B&W you have applied has given this shot a lot of character and interest.
