Tip 1: Mastering the Conversion with the Backslash Key
The backslash key is your hidden ally. It's all about seeing the before and after during your conversion process. This simple trick lets you instantly compare your original color photo with the black and white version. It's like having a magical toggle switch that reveals the impact of your edits in real-time!
Tip 2: Color Adjustments - The First Step to Great Black & White Photos
Color adjustments come first - a rule to swear by. Before you switch to black and white, tweak your colors. Why? Because the tones in your color image dramatically influence your final black and white output. This step is about setting the stage, ensuring that your black and white photos have the depth and drama they deserve.
Bonus Tips: Elevate Your Black & White Portraits
Portraits in black and white are timeless, but they require a special touch. Change your subject's eye color using the Face AI tool for an arresting look. Then, use the Portrait Bokeh Tool to adjust the background tone, adding depth and focus to your subject. These tools bring a professional polish to your portraits, making them stand out in a sea of standard black and white images.
