Black and White Photoshop

[Isac]

I have been playing in PS with the standard Black and White adjustment layer and I like it's power. The settings are on the images.

#1 - Original (edited) and cropped.

#2 - Photoshop BW adjustment layer using the DEFAULT settings.

#2 - Photoshop BW adjustment layer Adjusting the sliders and adding a slight tint.
Thoughts and/or suggestions welcome.

EH! You mean black and white and a bit.?

There's so many things I want to do yet - but I can't remember what they are ...

[HansE]

There are also a lot of things I would like to do again... alas.

Nice shot Isac. I think I prefer the colour version here, followed by the tint version. The bird isn't as well separated from the background in the straight B&W version.

Thanks for that Alan. I do agree the B&W is a bit off, but they were the default settings offered up by Photoshop. The sliders really can create some outstanding B&W effects. When I added the tint, it really made a difference, but it all depends on the tonal range.
