- Description:
- This is my first EVER attempt at B&W (monochrome to you experts out there), and being a first, I called him Adam. I really would appreciate any and all constructive criticism or otherwise on this shot as I really don't know which aspect of it to improve, and I'm certain there is room for some. Thank you all for your continued support and feedback

What do you like?
Hi Russell. I have never done any Nude photography and am no expert in B & W conversion but I have taken the liberty of taking a screen shot and playing with it in Elements. I hope you do not mind. Mike.
14 November 2014What would you improve?
This is what I have come up with.
I always start by duplicating the layer, that way you can always go back to the original.
All in the adjust lighting section
1. LEVELS bring the right slider to the left till it meets the start of the shaded area.
2. SHADOWS / HIGHLIGHTS. Lighten shadows 52%, Darken highlights 50%, Midtown Contrast +50%.
3. BRIGHTNESS / CONTRAST. Brightness -7, Contrast +8.
I hope the above helps and gives you some idea of processing coloured shots to B & W.
