Hi, FStop,
Beautiful monochrome rendering. Was the conversion from color by desat or does yr iPhone8 have a direct -to-b&w option?
If converted from color what was your first step? A one/step > b&w or desaturation?
Thanks,
Dave
Thank You for the kind comment.
It's been awhile since I edited this image so I'm not exactly sure but I can give a couple of different workflows I usually try. 1. If I am editing on my IPhone my go to app is Snapseed. After doing the usual tweaks inside the app I go to "Tools" and swipe through the different options. For Black & White, the Fine Art Black & White conversion is my favorite.
2. If I am using my Desktop Adobe Photoshop CC application, I usually use the Nik Plugin Silver Efex Pro2. Nik is one of my favorite plugin programs and is a part of my editing workflow while inside of Photoshop. I almost never do a desaturation to Black&White from a color image. I just don't think it works well for my tastes.
