Overview

"Master black and white fine art photographer, Photoshop expert, and master printer Vincent Versace delivers the book that students have long been waiting for: a comprehensive reference and set of tutorials covering the best ways to convert color images into stunning black and white photographs. There are numerous ways to convert an image from color to hues of gray. But which one works best—and why—are questions that may be asked but are rarely if ever answered. Vincent Versace will show students some of the best ways to convert an image to black and white without ever leaving the RGB color space. In this book, they'll learn which methods give them the best results and when to choose a simple or a complex solution. Different images have different needs as they are converted to black and white, and Vincent covers them all, leaving no stone unturned in his quest to create amazing, timeless black and white images—and teach students how to do the same. From Oz to Kansas includes coverage of Adobe Photoshop and Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro. Vincent explores all the options in Photoshop for converting color images to black and white, and discusses the merits of each, including when one conversion technique is more appropriate than another. Versace shares the knowledge he's gained from decades of research and real-world experience to help students take black and white images from ""good enough"" to fine art quality."
