Emulating Greatness with Black & White

- Beginner
In this week’s Tip of the Week, we learn how to emulate vintage black and white style on a classic landscape location in Yosemite Valley. We’ll start by revealing the foreground elements that we can use to bring the viewer into the frame. After we’ve set our base look inside ON1 Photo RAW, we’ll convert our landscape to Black and White. To ensure our image has all the depth possible, we’ll turn to our Local Adjustment Tools, where we’ll Dodge and Burn to create and remove the light from the scene.

Hi Dylan
Thanks for going into depth on this example of a different way to work with Black & White.
Thanks for a thought provoking video.

Dylan – That has to be one of “my” favorite videos recently. Very well done & I have an entirely new world in B/W with the process & tips that you provided. Also, I appreciate how you “expand” the Rt. Panel when utilizing the Adjustments and Effects sliders. Cool. Looking now at a lot of photos that I need to go back to w/this workflow. Wait for a snow storm. Tks for the great work.

I love mono – and it is always good to see a good tutorial on it to encourage people to have a go 🙂

Hi Dylan – You have produced an excellent tutorial emulating the Zone System for Monochrome. The step by step explanations are very well handled, and I think Ansel would likely approve all the way thru until the last step. I am “old school”, so adding the “grunge” texture is something I would would encourage people to skip. You have demonstrated excellent skills to recreate print making that takes years to learn to develop in a wet lab. Well done.
