If you like black and white photography, Macphun’s Tonality is perfect for maximizing the contrast of a black and white image. What does the Tonality user interface look like? In this movie, author Richard Harrington will walk you through the interface for Macphun’s Tonality so you know where all the tools are.
- If you like black and white photography,…Tonality is a tool that allows you to maximize…the contrast in the image, and explore several…different options for black and white.…Remember, black and white is not simply…the absence of color, rather it's using…the colors in the original scene to emphasize…the tonality of the image.…Let's work with the Mac App Store edition first.…This will have most of the same controls…that you're used to, if you're using the Creative Kit.…You can choose to open an image by clicking Load Image,…or drag and drop one onto the window.…
I'll click Load, and go to my Downloads folder,…and open up the Broadway image.…When you first launch, if you've purchased from…the Mac App Store, it might ask you to enter your email,…so you can go ahead and join their club to get additional…discounts on future purchases.…Let's go ahead and close that,…and I'll make this full screen,…to maximize the user interface.…Now, Tonality is pretty straight forward.…When you load an image, it's going to apply…a basic preset to begin with.…
