When working with large numbers of photos occasionally I will try batch processing a black and white conversion over a folder of images, but my problem always was the simple desaturate command in Photoshop never really did the trick, the photo(s) always looked way to flat. Using this technique we will boost contrast using blend modes prior to our final black and white conversion and the beauty of this method is it is the same for every photo so making an action takes seconds.

  • What the hell? This is, by far, the absolute worst tutorial video have ever watched! What the hell is your problem? Why bother making a tutorial if you are gonna speak at everyone like we already know how to do this. Man you obviously have a lot of knowledge and you seem to want to share it with us so please, dude slow down and try and breath every now and then.

  • You sound like youre rapping the weird al yankovic song white and nerdy LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • thx man,i need this

  • @kamjharmon what are you, the hall monitor??? Oh, I know, you are one who loves to stick their nose in other peoples business and put their important two cents worth. Right? Well, here is my two cents, keep out of other peoples business, and YOU go criticize another video. If I wasn't addressing you, you are simply a meddler looking to pick an internet fight.

  • @Trevoc2 pick another video to whatch then instead of being so disrespectful to someone who is trying to help...jeeeez so sick of these type of comments and rude language

  • When i put it on soft contrast or on any other nothing happends. Can this be because i used a crappy camera. Because i used a photo of a cellphone :(

    Sorry i am really new with this :P

  • @Trevoc2 just press pauze 

  • @iLLBakedJoker While YOU press Pause, I'll keep complaining about people who put "tutorials" online which no one can keep up with or they put loud rock music and no explanation. If they want to call it a "TUTORIAL", than you shouldn't have to PAUSE it or replay it four or five times to get it. I'm sure you wouldn't keep your job if you had to do it again and again.

  • Great tutorial and no problems at all following along.
