Crafting a Black & White Wildlife Portrait

Transform a color wildlife photograph into a dramatic black and white portrait using ON1 Photo RAW. In this step-by-step editing guide, you’ll learn how to build contrast, selectively illuminate your subject with AI masking, create a rich black and white conversion, enhance fur detail with Dynamic Contrast, soften the background with Glow, and finish the image with a subtle vignette. These techniques work beautifully for lions, birds, mammals, and other wildlife subjects, helping you create timeless images that emphasize texture, emotion, and storytelling.
