Then in early January I got my hands on a trial version of Topaz Labs Black & White<\/a> which is part the large plugin bundle<\/a> for Adobe Photoshop<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Color Images Converted to Black & White<\/h3>\n

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<\/a> if needed. Using only Adobe Lightroom 3<\/a> and Topaz Labs Black & White Effects.<\/p>\n
