New: Black & White Photo Editing In-depth Course

Creating great-looking B&W images is about more than just removing color via “desaturate”, or moving a few sliders up and down with a black and white adjustment layer. Landscape photographer Steve Arnold created this course to help photographers master the critical concepts.

Some of the many lessons covered in this course:

  • Learn the instructor’s three favorite methods of converting your images to black and white for the ideal starting point for the rest of your editing (some work better than others depending on the type of photo)
  • Discover the shockingly simple tools and techniques in Photoshop (that you’re probably already using for other purposes) that are the keystone of this style of fine-art black and white architectural images
  • Learn the counter-intuitive way to use a black and white version of an image to enhance the light in your color images
  • Discover the most effective techniques for creating the best selections for your architectural B&W’s (hint – this style is all about selective adjustments)
  • How to darken a sky fully (without losing detail) to create the perfect backdrop for your eye-popping architectural abstracts
  • These techniques will have you pushing the pixels pretty hard, which can lead to some issues along the edges (halos etc). Learn how to prevent those when possible and where not, how to repair and resolve them if they do appear (also useful for non-bw photos)
  • Discover how to create the “glossy” black and white look for your cityscape / architectural images
  • Learn how to give matte surfaces a unique glossy appearance that leaves people wondering how the heck you did it
  • How to manipulate light and contrast in new and exciting ways to add something a little more “creative” to your portfolio
