M8 and B&W

[HansRoggen]

Here's one someone in another forum came accross at Shutterbug:

It's pretty simple and quick.

1. Open a color image
2. Add a Hue/Saturation layer with blend mode Color
3. Add another Hue/Saturation layer with Saturation -100 (blend mode Normal)
4. To adjust BW tonal distribution, vary the Hue slider in the first Hue/Saturation layer

I will try these in the next few days. I don't have a monitor now on my PC sice I returned the Gateway. I am looking at apple monitors but hear the show next week may reveal some new ones. So I am on hold.

Great shots Jorge. I'm also enjoying the best B+W I've had in digital and without lots of postprocessing since getting the M8.

And I use Lightroom saturation -100, Tone Curve to linear, change default brightness +50 to zero, and increase fill light as necessary to bring out the desired tone as a starting point. Its quick and easy which is a priority for me as I don't like spending hours in PP if I can avoid it.
