Black and white photography has come a long way in the digital world. Feeling

overwhelmed by the endless conversion options in (and around) Photoshop,

Lightroom and beyond? If so, you're not alone, and this is definitely the book

for you!



In this thoroughly up-to-date book that covers all of the new features of

Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom, you'll learn how to use methods within an

application or raw converter, scripts, plug-ins, and more. Leslie Alsheimer and

Bryan O'Neil Hughes show you everything you need to know to uncover the secrets

to successful black and white conversion and printmaking. Let the stunning

images (presented in both color and black and white) show you just what is

possible when you master these powerful tools.



• Learn from step-by-step tutorials and work through each conversion with clear,

easy-to-follow instructions illustrated by a multitude of images and screengrabs

• Maximize image quality in capture and output with professional tips and tricks

for speeding up your workflow

• Save time and learn professional techniques to creatively and technically

improve your black and white photography and printmaking



The more you work with B&W, the more you realize that it requires a different

approach -- and the differences extend to how you use your tools, too. This book

introduces a complete, practical integrated workflow specific to B&W processes:

one that will help you create more inspired images, and have more fun doing it.



You'll start with some indispensable tips on finding subjects for your B&W work

and on the methodologies of top-quality monochromatic digital capture. Next,

you'll walk through using Lightroom to import, edit, and make global image

adjustments. The authors demonstrate Bridge's value as you move images into

Photoshop; then turn to "conventional" and innovative B&W-specific digital

darkroom processing techniques.



By the way, their workflow is fully color-managed (and, yes, they explain why

color management is absolutely crucial to B&W accuracy, and how to manage color

for B&W images without burying yourself in complexity).
