well, one can just deselect the channel and then apply B&W adjustmens, but with this method I could not even come close to what i did with turning channels into layers. in a concert shoot with minimal blue tones I converted the other two to layers (with copy/pasting) and then blended one on to the other (hard light blending mode) -------------------------------------------- Στις Τετ., 01/10/14, ο/η Andrew Davidhazy <andpph@xxxxxxx> έγραψε: Θέμα: Re: B&W in PS CS 3 question Προς: "List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students" <photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Ημερομηνία: Τετάρτη, 1 Οκτώβριος 2014, 21:35 Kostas, I am no Photoshop expert but maybe you can look at the channel you want to eliminate and as you are doing this select it and use EDIT to cut it … this should effectively remove the info in that channel. Then you go back to the RGB version which this time will lack the channel you eliminated. Then you convert this to B&W and adjust to suit. just a thought … Andy On Oct 1, 2014, at 5:49 AM, Kostas Papakotas <clenchedteethphotography@xxxxxxxx> wrote: Just a fast question. Is there a way to make a B&W image by blending 2 of the 3 channels Other than copy/pasting them on a new file? thanks!
