- [Instructor] Let's take a look at two different ways…that we can create better black-and-white photographs…and do so faster than before.…In order to illustrate these two techniques,…I'll be using two images, starting off with this one here.…So I'll press f to go to Full Screen mode, spacebar key,…and click and drag to reposition the image.…You know, a lot of times when people…convert an image to black and white,…what they'll do is maybe reach…for a tool like Hue Saturation,…and they'll reduce or remove the color.…And then they'll say, okay, well, that's all right,…maybe I want to add some contrast.…
So they'll go to Curves, and maybe they'll,…I don't know, add a little curves adjustment,…but still it's pretty limiting.…And if they wanted to modify and area of the image…say like the red O, they might use a tool,…maybe like the quick select tool.…Go through and try to get a selection of that…and nothing else.…And then make another adjustment…and of course this is going to be very tedious…to try to make all those adjustments.…
