Tech Talk Gallery 1: Digital Black and White
Black and White photography is still with us, even in the digital age. While it seems that you can just go into Photoshop or your favorite image program and change the mode to B&W, it's not that simple. What we show here are 5 black and white shots taken from one color shot, processed by a Photoshop plugin from Power Retouche called Black & White Studio. Feel free to check out their website at powerretouch.com. Each B&W photo is labeled with the emulated response curve of 5 popular real B&W films that have been perennial favorites with film photographers.
Update (7/26/2008): Nik Software has released Silver Efex Pro, which improves on the state-of-the art in Black and White digital photography.
