…In this video, I'd like to address…some issues related to printing and specifically…printing your black and white images that we've converted from an RGB color image.…Couple of key things to remember right off the bat before you start printing is, go…ahead and create a final file that has everything that you want to apply to it.…All your tonal adjustments, you'll notice we've put those up here…in this layer folder here, and then you maybe applying sharpening.…So you've got a fully editable RGB black and white image.…First thing to remember is, remember, this is indeed an RGB image.…
It's not just a single channel grey scale image.…If you are like me and you want to have as…much tonal data as possible working in your image, when you're…doing these conversions, and you're working in a 16-bit image, I…always work in 16-bit until I get ready to go to output.…So, this final image that I have here is going to be a 16-bit image.…So the first thing that I recommend, is that you…know, check the printing device that you're going to be printing on.…
