It's easy to create B&W image from your beautiful colour files, isn't it?

Have you ever tried this technique to fine tune your new black and white converstion?

In PhotoDirector remove colour by sliding the Saturation slider to the left, as in image A. At this point, your image still retains colour detail information.

With out saving your new image you can go to the Temperature and Tint sliders in the White Balance section and make further adjustments.

In image B I've moved the Temperature (Blue/Yellow) slider to the right making the yellow content lighter, therefore the grass being more yellow than the sky, is lighter.

In image C moving the Temparture slider to the left, means that the blue image will be lighter.

Once you have found your ideal setting, you can save the image as usual and also save your new setting.

These are just coarse adjustments for demonstration only but you can try it out and see if it works for you.

cheers I just want to edit and make pictures, walk my dog and go fishing.
