Everything that you mention wanting to do is no different for B&W than it is for color.

It's a good question....what is a good Photoshop book for 
photographers.  Fact is only 20% of the contents of most of the books 
I have looked at are useable by most people on this forum. The other 
80% are "special effects" most here would seldom use and more 
appropriate for a graphics artist. What has the greatest percentage 
written for a true digital darkroom user, particularly for black and 
white - something that delves more into more than just the basic 
digital equivalents of silver darkroom techniques?

George DeWolfe has a CD on workflow that looks pretty interesting. I 
assume it has a little more than what he excerpts in Camera Arts. Has 
anyone bought it?

If you're starting with color images, as from a digicam, then it's important
to know something about the color manipulation tools, because it's important
to learn how to exploit the color for getting the best detail and contrast
in the B&W conversion. However, there are some things, like really brutal
curve adjustments, that work wonders on B&W images but that would be
disastrous in color. So there is certainly room for someone to write at
least a long article, if not a short book, on using PS specifically for B&W.
Until someone does, the archives of this list are probably one of the best
resources, even if painful to search.

I am working with b&w negatives that are scanned, then "worked on" in
photoshop, then sent to the inkjet for printing.  My intent is to create
good crisp b&w images that are close to the same images that I would produce
with a wet darkroom.

I was just in Books a million this evening and noticed they had a book called "Digital black 
and white photography".  I browsed through it and it seems like something worth 
purchasing.  I too have been waiting for someone to come out with a book addressing 
digital black and white photography being that is the majority of my work.  The book has 
some techniques I was familiar with as well as some that I was not.  It sells for about 25 
bucks but I saw it on amazon.com for about 17 bucks.  Amazon also has another book 
geared toward black and white digital photography called darkroom to digital.  If you buy 
the two together, you get a price break $36.89.  I will probably order them next week 
sometime.  

Heres the link to the book on amazon.   http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/

That's a worthy goal, but in the long run, don't limit yourself to that. You
can do amazing things with B&W in Photoshop, much more so than in color,
turning images that look like crap on the film into works of art.

Josh,

This is not a book, but my web site has an in-depth explanation of 
Photoshop's Hue/Saturation, Levels and Curves adjustments.  I use 
Levels and Curves a lot to darken/lighten/increase-decrease contrast 
in an image.  There is a section on the web site that discusses 
converting color to B&W, but if you use B&W film, then the section 
would probably be irrelevant.  I think Photoshop's help gives a 
fairly good explanation of layer masks.  In Photoshop, click Help > 
Photoshop Help, then click the Search menu and search for layer 
masks.  Try reading the topic titled Creating and Editing Layer 
Masks.  Not sure the topic explains it, but one of the things I do a 
lot is to Alt-click the layer mask to display the mask in the 
document window.  This shows you exactly what the mask has in it.  
Alt-click the mask again to restore the image display.

Point taken Paul.  I have seen some wonderful results with negatives
that I have tried to print in the darkroom but got frustrated with them.

RE: [Digital BW] Re: b&w photoshop

2005-01-24 by Josh Randall

Hello all,

 

A while ago I asked whether anyone has found a useful book about using
photoshop specifically for b&w images.  Well, since then I have found, not a
book, but a wonderful CD put out by RH Designs that takes you step by step
through image manipulation in photoshop.  What I love about it is the fact
that it relates the image tools to the darkroom and focuses on producing
traditional b&w prints.  It is the most comprehensive and easy to understand
information I have found yet on the subject (and I have been buying and
reading everything on the subject for the past 4 months).  Anyhow, if you
are just getting started and need some clarity for how you can optimize
photoshop for your b&w images, check out this cd.  I have included a link
below:

 

http://www.rhdigital.co.uk/html/b_w_workshop_cd.html

 

Josh

 

p.s.  I have no links to this company at all.  This is just my opinion.  If
you do happen to order the cd, watch out for the currency conversion.  It
comes from the U.K. and ends up costing about $50.00 for us U.S. folks.

If you're starting with color images, as from a digicam, then it's important
to know something about the color manipulation tools, because it's important
to learn how to exploit the color for getting the best detail and contrast
in the B&W conversion. However, there are some things, like really brutal
curve adjustments, that work wonders on B&W images but that would be
disastrous in color. So there is certainly room for someone to write at
least a long article, if not a short book, on using PS specifically for B&W.
Until someone does, the archives of this list are probably one of the best
resources, even if painful to search.
