Customizing the Black & White settings

In this movie I'll show you how to manually adjust these Black & White…settings in order to achieve the best results.…Now it's a little bit tricky to try to make decisions about Reds, Yellows,…Greens and so forth, when you're seeing the black and white version of the…image because you really don't know where they are.…One way to test their location is to just play with the slider, for example,…keep an eye on this foreground group of trees right there.…If I set the Yellows value you to its maximum of 300, then those trees brighten up.…

If I reduce that value to its minimum of negative 200, the trees get darker.…So that's one way to work, and then of course you can set the Yellows value to…whatever you think it should be based on what you see.…The other way to work is to grab this Target Adjustment tool and notice that the…little icon shows arrows moving left and right. And that's how you want to use…the tool, that is by scrubbing to the left and to the right inside the image.…So I'll go ahead and select that tool, and I'll drag to the right inside the sky…
