Digital Imaging Tips by Dan Moughamian
Most photographers and photo buyers will tell you that they love black and white images. There’s just something about them that speaks to people in a different way.
This tutorial will show you some of the techniques you can use with the most powerful Black & White plugin available in my opinion, which is Silver Efex Pro 2 from Nik Software. It’s a great way to expand Photoshop’s capabilities without greatly expanding the learning curve (not to mention it will help you take your favorite shots and make them even better!).
