In B&W photography, it’s not uncommon to use different color filters to produce better images depending on the subject. This is the BEST B&W conversion technique I have ever seen in PS. I’ve been using PS since ‘95. Bravo to you.

I am using a similar technique in Affinity Photo where I use a Curves Adjustment either in the LAB mode or CMYK mode underneath the Black to White gradient adjustment but your technique is much better it covers all the necessary tones one requires for a good BW image. Thanks a lot for the concept.

Tried this out on a recent photo I had converted to B&W recently and the difference is amazing. So much more control over just flipping it to B&W and then trying to make more changes. I've learned so much since starting to watch this channel. I've struggled with coming to understand there are 2 aspects, the taking of the photo, and the processing. To get a better photos you have to understand and learn both aspects and this channel has really helped. Thanks.

I know this is two years old, but I just caught up to it. Brilliant!!! As an old film B&W photographer from way back, I was aware of the importance of color, which you could modify through use of filters - the old Wratten red filter making blue skies near black in B&W. I’ve long used the filters in Silver Efex, but with nowhere near the amazing options available in your system. Anxious to go back and reprocess some previously converted images that never sang like this process allows. Well done!

I tried this and it works GREAT. Previously, I've used Infinite Black & White, Russell Brown's Film & Filter, Black & White adjustment layers as well as Silver Effects Pro. Silver Effects works fine, but in my experience, control points do not make as accurate selections as Zone & Luminosity masks can. Blake's action allows you to remain in Photoshop and have access to all layers for adjustments. Not only that, but the adjustments are every bit as effective as SEP. Artifacts, especially in the sky as will occur with B&W adjustment layers, do NOT occur. In my opinion this rate 10 stars. Blake, thank you so much.

You are dead on about color playing an important part in black and white photos. I am fortunate enough to have learned this very early on. I used to use a bright blue bed sheet as a back drop for my b&w lowkey bodyscape portraits. This was before i bought some proper backdrops. It was very easy to make the background completely black without effecting skin tones in post... I use a similar technique to yours in camera raw. I choose a monochrome color profile and use the black and white color sliders to adjust the color tones. It never occurred to me to do the same thing in photoshop. Your technique probably allows for much more control. I will have to try this!

Drop the mic... mind has been blown right there. Blake this is fantastic and at the beginning of the tutorial I was composition is as important and colour and now I am swayed to colour just prioritising composition. This is definitely a technique I will begin practising as I have images that fail to shine when converted to black and white. These steps may just be the answer. Thank you.

I JUST started using Capture One, and it's so amazing for B&W color grading. By far the easiest to play around with vs Lr and PS

It might be easy, but does it produce results with this level of control? That's the real question.

Paused at 2:47 to say I use a B&W adj. layer to set my preferred luminosity across the colors, and then a Gradient map to desaturate and tone. Now I'm gonna hit play and get schooled! 😆 Edit: Paused again at 16:16 to say this is so much better of a method. Kudos!
