Images Created with Topaz Labs Black & White
Then in early January I got my hands on a trial version of Topaz Labs Black & White which is part the large plugin bundle for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. The Plugin Bundle has every Photoshop/Lightroom Plugin created by Topaz Labs and by far is the best deal if you plan on purchasing more than one plugin. For me, I will end up purchasing the bundle, but I really only need two or three of the plugins and mostly will use their Black & White plugin.
Topaz Labs Black & White
Topaz Labs Black states that “Topaz B&W Effects takes you beyond traditional black and white conversion methods by integrating unique features like a 5-in-1 selective adjustment brush, adaptive exposure, quad toning, historical processing collections, creative effects and more – giving you remarkable creativity and flexibility never seen before within a black and white program. B&W Effects is your all-in-one solution for professional-quality black and white photos. With this powerful and easy-to-use plug-in, you can quickly create rich, dynamic black and whites with compelling tone and detail. B&W Effects will transform the way your process your images and help you master the art of digital black and white photography.”
Color Images Converted to Black & White
Below are a few examples of some images I took when I visited the abandoned The Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells and few Images from several different cars shows in the past few years. All images were images that I had wanted to convert to black & white and I had no luck converting them myself or using any other tools. All of these images are just examples and I will revisit them again the future. I started with a color image and converted to black & white and made adjustments to look and sometimes adding a vignetting if needed. Using only Adobe Lightroom 3 and Topaz Labs Black & White Effects.
