Perhaps it\u2019s because a monochrome treatment lends our photos a nostalgic, timeless feel that\u2019s difficult to achieve in this pristine, high-resolution digital age. It creates an aesthetic link to an earlier time and a rich heritage of film photography. Or maybe it\u2019s because the absence of colour can draw attention to other things, like the stark shape of a building or the texture of a person\u2019s skin. Whatever the reason, it\u2019s clear that, as a medium, black &amp; white photography is as strong today as it\u2019s ever been. But things do change. These days there are lots of tools and techniques for achieving that classic black &amp; white film look, from Lightroom tools to in-camera tricks and plug-ins that replicate particular film stocks, right down to the specific grain structure. We&#8217;ll explore some of the best options.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to image editing, the term \u2018effect\u2019 is sometimes seen as a dirty word. But an effect is exactly what a black &amp; white conversion is. Granted, it\u2019s probably the most universally accepted of all image effects, but in the digital age it\u2019s an aesthetic choice rather than the practical necessity it was in the early days of photography. As such, if we want to replicate the characteristics of black &amp; white film then it\u2019s helpful to think of it as a combination of three image-editing tricks. First there\u2019s the removal of colour; then there\u2019s the control of contrast and tonality; and finally there\u2019s the addition of monochrome tropes like film grain, vignettes or split toning.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125347&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125347 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/BW-Silver-Efex.jpg\" alt=\"BW Silver Efex\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Silver-Efex.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Silver-Efex.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Silver-Efex.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Silver-Efex.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Silver-Efex.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Silver Efex offers a whole host of presets, film stocks and contrast controls.

Some images just seem to work better in monochrome. But which ones? There are no firm rules, but there are a few factors to look out for. Removing colour draws attention to form, shapes, textures and patterns. Images with bold contrast tend to work in monochrome, as do stark landscapes, and photos with a strong shape or an interesting balance between light and shade.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Seeing\u2019 the world in black &amp; white takes practice, but it can help to set your camera to a monochrome picture style to give you a better idea of how the finished image will look. Be sure to shoot in raw quality, otherwise the colour information will be stripped out of the file \u2013 and that colour information is very useful for controlling the look of the black &amp; white image.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125389&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125389 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/BW-HSL-BW-panel.jpg\" alt=\"BW HSL panel\" width=\"1000\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-HSL-BW-panel.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-HSL-BW-panel.jpg?resize=300,165 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-HSL-BW-panel.jpg?resize=630,346 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-HSL-BW-panel.jpg?resize=900,494 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-HSL-BW-panel.jpg?resize=562,309 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The HSL\/Black and White panel in Photoshop and Lightroom is an excellent tool for mono conversions. Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>The conversion<\/h2>\n<p>As anyone who has ever experimented with lens-mounted colour filters will know, colour is very important in black &amp; white photography. We can use the colour information in our original digital image to control brightness as we convert to black &amp; white. Lightroom and Photoshop both offer an excellent tool for this: the HSL\/Black and White Panel. It gives us eight sliders that control the luminance of different colour ranges (we can also drag within the image to adjust the sliders). These let us control the tonality of our black &amp; white photo by, for example, darkening the blues to make a sky more dramatic, or lifting the oranges to give skin tones a bright, airy feel.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125350&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125350 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/BW-using-curves.jpg\" alt=\"BW using curves\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-curves.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-curves.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-curves.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-curves.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-curves.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">You can create a semi-negative effect easily in Photoshop with Curves.

Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Contrast and tonality<\/h2>\n<p>Traditionally, different film stocks would display characteristic levels of contrast, and that contrast would increase if the film was pushed during processing. When our digital images are first converted to mono they can often look disappointingly flat, so a quick boost in contrast is usually necessary. There are a number of tools for boosting contrast, but the most intuitive has to be Curves. Available in Photoshop, Lightroom and numerous other editors, Curves lets you alter brightness by affecting different parts of the tonal range. By plotting two or three points on the curve line to form an S-shape we can boost contrast by lightening the highlights and darkening the shadows. What\u2019s more, we can control the brightness of the black &amp; white points by dragging the top and bottom points of the curve line up or down, inwards or outwards. It\u2019s an essential skill to learn \u2013 not just for black &amp; white photography, but all image-editing.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125364&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 420px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125364 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/BW-apply-Selenium-look.jpg\" alt=\"BW apply Selenium look\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-apply-Selenium-look.jpg 400w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-apply-Selenium-look.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-apply-Selenium-look.jpg?resize=267,400 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Apply a Selenium look using Photoshop\u2019s Gradient Map tool. Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Gorgeous grain<\/h2>\n<p>These days we refer to noise in our images, but in the days of film we would instead have to consider the film grain. Just as a high-ISO digital image displays greater noise, a high-ISO film stock (and with film, anything above 400 was considered as such) would display noticeable film grain. Both result in a loss of detail, but while the former is considered to be unsightly, film grain is often thought to add character.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get the look of black &amp; white film then the biggest challenge is achieving a realistic grain. It\u2019s complicated by the fact that different film stocks display varying grain, and it would be more prominent if the film was pushed in processing to gain an extra stop or two. The apps and plug-ins mentioned here let you add grain to your black &amp; white photos. In Lightroom, head to the Develop Module\u2019s FX panel and adjust the grain sliders. Keep in mind that the appearance of the grain will be dependent on the resolution of the image, so if you intend to print it then resize to the proper print resolution first before adding a grain effect.<\/p>\n<h2>In-camera grain<\/h2>\n<p>Grain lovers might also try emphasising grain in-camera by intentionally using a high ISO, even if the conditions don\u2019t demand it. To take it even further, you can try intentionally underexposing the image so that it appears very dark, then recover it in post. This leads to increased noise to give your photos a lovely textured look if you find the right sweet spot between underexposure and recovery.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>5 of the best tools for emulating black &amp; white film<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125353&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-125353\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/BW-using-Silver-Efex.jpg\" alt=\"BW using Silver Efex\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-Silver-Efex.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-Silver-Efex.jpg?resize=300,165 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-Silver-Efex.jpg?resize=630,347 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-Silver-Efex.jpg?resize=900,495 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-using-Silver-Efex.jpg?resize=562,309 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>1.

Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Which one do you prefer?<\/h2>\n<p>Portraits are a classic choice for monochrome treatment. Colour can sometimes be an unnecessary distraction in a portrait, especially in close-ups. By stripping it out, we can draw attention to an expression or emphasise the texture of a person\u2019s skin. Here, for example, while the colour version is certainly vibrant and eye-catching, the black &amp; white treatment arguably reveals more about the subject. Besides, with portraits we already know what skin colour looks like, so the presence of colour isn\u2019t always necessary. You could argue that the necklace and beads here are stronger in colour, but the lack of colour highlights the patterns and textures instead. There\u2019s no right or wrong; it\u2019s about understanding how the choices we make in post-processing affect not just the look of an image, but also the message it conveys.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125355&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125355 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/BW-Vignettes-before-after.jpg\" alt=\"BW Vignettes before after\" width=\"1000\" height=\"749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Vignettes-before-after.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Vignettes-before-after.jpg?resize=135,100 135w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Vignettes-before-after.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Vignettes-before-after.jpg?resize=534,400 534w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Vignettes-before-after.jpg?resize=900,674 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-Vignettes-before-after.jpg?resize=562,421 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Before (left) and after (right). Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>The power of vignettes<\/h2>\n<p>Heavy vignetting often occurred in old film cameras because early lenses struggled to draw in as much light around the edges of the frame as they could in the centre, resulting in darker corners. So by adding a vignette, we can give our black &amp; white treatment a vintage feel. Aside from this, a vignette can be a powerful way to draw attention to our subject and away from the edges of the frame. The viewer\u2019s eye is naturally drawn to the lighter areas of an image, so by darkening the edges we can guide the eye towards the more important areas nearer the centre of the frame. To add a vignette in Lightroom, use the Radial Filter tool and drag a circular adjustment over the image (or double-click to snap it to the edges of the frame). Don\u2019t bother with the Post-Crop Vignette tool \u2013 the Radial Filter offers greater control.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>5 tips to get the vintage look in Photoshop<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125358&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-125358\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/BW-vintage-messy-borders.jpg\" alt=\"BW vintage messy borders\" width=\"1000\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-vintage-messy-borders.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-vintage-messy-borders.jpg?resize=300,167 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-vintage-messy-borders.jpg?resize=630,350 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-vintage-messy-borders.jpg?resize=900,500 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/BW-vintage-messy-borders.jpg?resize=562,312 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>1.
