There are times when the color of an image is distracting and black-and-white conversion can enhance composition, contrast and texture to tell the story and convey the message. There are many different techniques of converting a color image to black and white, some being more effective than others. WPPI Grand Master and four-time WPPI Grand Award winner Rocco takes you through four different techniques in creating dynamic black-and-white images in Photoshop. Learn how your color tones convert into shades of gray and how they play an important role in achieving beautiful tone separation, along with the tuning of contrast to achieve nostalgic black-and-white darkroom looks. Rocco's extensive experience in the darkroom has helped him to master the art of digital black and white.
