In this 90 second tutorial I show how you can create a black and white image by copying the luminosity channel in LAB mode and pasting it into each individual channel in RGB mode. I find that this generally produces good black and white results from a colour image.

YouTube seems to have mashed the video quality, so there isn't much I can do with respect to the legibility of the text. I hope the process is still understandable.

  • I used Paint Shop Pro and can convert to B&W in one step. What is the advantage of doing all these steps?

  • Why not Control+U and reduce saturation?

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH
