Curt Y Dec 24, 2011 10:29 AM (in response to Harrold3)Here is a good artilce on monotone technique. Of course to enter monootone you first have to change to grayscale. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CEYQFjAE&url=http%3A%2 F%2Fdesignorati.com%2Farticles%2Ft1%2Fphotoshop%2F1251%2Fusing-photoshops-color-settings-t o-generate-a-plain-black-channel.php&ei=Mxf2TuSNGMGhiQKJmMmyDg&usg=AFQjCNEOBjwwPAVOiAyCqQW tHraicyXvjA

Noel Carboni Dec 24, 2011 1:20 PM (in response to Harrold3)Just to be clear, have you investigated all the options and features of Photoshop's Black & White tool? E.g., its use as an Adjustment Layer?

Its a good question that you ask
My current technique is to convert to greyscale in ACR and then follow up by making adjustments in HSL to get the best possible B&W and then if appropriate for the image going into the new Grain/Post Crop Vignetting panel and this part of the image development is coming along quite well
My problem area at the moment is getting a good Sepia/Split Tone etc
I've tried the Split Toning panel in ACR which works quite well but can feel a bit fiddily sometimes to get just right
I thought maybe a simple plugin could be an answer
Any suggestions for ideas for doing it in PS would be very much welcomed

Chris Cox Dec 24, 2011 3:29 PM (in response to Harrold3)Sepia / Split tones -- use the duotone feature, or gradient map adjustment. (you could also use curves, but it seems to scare most beginners)
