Bench ring - image > adjustments > B&W, red, green, blue, yellow, cyan and magenta increased and decreased slightly. When I was playing about with this photo I wanted to give it that old grey scale look, that you would normally achieve on a black and white slr camera, I have worked with manual black and white slr camera in the past, so I was reasonably aware of how to achieve this look using photo shop, to someone that has never used, either the black and white film slr camera or photo shop they may come to assume that, it is pretty simple, however, there is a very slight difference in appearance and according on how you manipulate the image, you can get the same look as you would on a black and white film camera. Firstly the image itself needs to be of high quality, on a black and white film, this would be assured through how you focus the image on an enlarger. Secondly change to black and white by changing the saturation, then you can add or decrease brightness and contrast. On a black and white film camera, the quality usually turns out quite contrasty, there wouldn't be so many grey tones if the image was not developed properly. |
