Really helpful reminders on B&W conversion options.
I’d like to see a video on how to convert and modify a scene to infrared.

Nice reminder and refresher on using the B/W conversion. Although, the examples are rather simple B/W conversion. What I would like to see is how well B/W conversion actually works on a more complex image, like for example, a landscape or more complex nature image. It seems like most of the tutorials are done with very simple images and do not really show the full capabilities of the program and what it can do with more complex images. Thanks.

Very helpful ideas how to convert a color picture into black and white. Thank you. I would like to know how to transform a film negative into a “positive” picture? How can i invert a color chanel?

Hi Jens,
I have been able to do this by going into >Effects > Add Filter > Curves and then under >Styles hit >Invert. Hope this works.

Nice tutorial. There are so many options among the tools in On1 that it’s easy to forget about some of them.

Thank you Dylan, very useful.
You showed how to add a grainy look to your picture.
I am wondering how the opposite is possible?
I have scanned all my old negatives and some are in B/W and some in color.
Especially the B/W negatives are sometimes quite grainy. Is there some easy way to reducere the grains without loosing too much sharpness?
BR,
Steen

Thanks Dylan, but I’m going to have to buy more memory for this old 88-year-old, to remember all the options 🙂
