| Workshop Note |
Hi Jean, it was a very difficult image for B&W conversion and am not sure it's much improved if any.
firstly I cropped a little from the top so the OE sky was not too much a distraction and also a little from the right side of the frame as a bag was showing hanging from a post. I resized, and converted to B&W via channels, I used setting +60 on the blue and +40 on the red and -5 on constant, I was a little dissapointed that the sliders sis'nt make too much of a difference, however, I duplicated layer and used overlay and opacity at around 30%, finally a little burning on the walls in the foreground to give it a darker gloomier type look and a little dodging on the lady in the foreground. Oh and a trademark white border, sometimes I feel a white border brings out the tones even more in a B&W conversion. Hope you like it Jean.
regards Dean. |
