I have been asked a lot about how I process my black and white images for my Instagram. In this video I show you the basic technique I use, using curves and HSL sliders within the Darkroom app, right on my iPhone. I will also show you how to get similar results on Snapseed for you Android users. You can also take these tips and use them high end editing software like Lightroom and Photoshop.
If you found it helpful, share it on.

A few of you have jumped on and pointed out that if you shoot in RAW, even if you are shooting BW you will retain all the colour info. Of course you're right, and I hope these tips help you. I think the question came from an Instagrammer who is likely shooting in jpg, so the answer is geared towards those who don't shoot RAW for Instagram. I'm actually one of them. I only have a 16GB iPhone which always seems to be too full, so shooting and editing jpg from my X100 is a workflow which works well for me. RAW is saved for my professional work.

Thanks for the tips, Sean! I love the creative color (or lack of) and compositions of your videos. The way you did the iPhone shots with the color, zoomed in view on the right and you yourself doing the actions on the left is just awesome. Thanks for sharing.
This video opened the door to a whole new B&W view for me that I never knew existed. At least that gave me the confidence to where I could create it. Thank you so much
Listening to you explaining something, whatever, is always a delight. And your videos and photos are great of course.
Hi there .... great video. Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out to you but in SnapSeed you do have slider control on the black and white colour filters. Just choose the filter and then move your finger left or right on the image. Thanks again, great info!
You're killing it with your channel! Love the calm demeanour and clear guidance. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion! 👍

Killing it! Super cool! Super excited! Bro! Heads up! Pro tip! Hack! Peace! 100%! Super pumped! Killing it! Smashing it! Bro! Yo!
Love how you explain everything in detail. Makes a novice like myself keen to try these techniques
Thanks, Sean. I've always wanted to learn how to properly use the black and white tools in Snapseed to create dramatic black and white shots from colour photos. Your tutorial made a lot of sense.
I keep going back to this video. Simply: THANK YOU!! I had the pleasure to start shooting with a real red filter... That really taught me how to handle it. So much easier now
Thank you for the video Sean. You have a very natural way of explaining things and I can tell you have a passion for photography.
Just recently started watching this guy's channel and I'm liking it more and more cheers
You´ve helped me so much to understand how to edit more than use presets. Thank you!
Hi Sean, thank you for a great video on black and white. Clear, concise, demonstrative. You set a high standard for accessible instructional videos.
Thank you for this tutorial Sean! It is quite helpful and I'm bookmarking it for reference as I attempt to apply the effects you've suggested.
The more I see your pictures and videos more i love your work! Very professional. Congratulations
Another exceptional video thanks Sean! Yes please, of course we'd love to see your color editing process! Your incredible eye for composition is something I'd love to hear about too, how you go from walking around the streets to framing up - that part of the process. I've been walking around a lot looking for photo opportunities, even more since you suggested in a video to walk more and ride less - and sometimes I see something cool but can't seem to get the right fit in the frame like you would. Keep up the great work!
Another of your concise video, Sean. Its more clear to me what to do to make images pop out. Thank you so much!
Thanks for these wonderfully useful techniques. Gave me a lot more understanding in 10 minutes than I've had in years of casually editing with digital tools. I'd also love to see a video on color grading techniques. Hope there's enough interest for that.
I have been watching your videos, about editing and I find them really enlightening! Thank you very much
Your videos are my favorite instructional videos. Thanks so much!
I have learned more in this short video than many other tutorials for both applications. Thank you.

A tutorial on color grading would be amazing! And great job on this one! Really liked the way you presented the entire theme.
Awesome videos Sean! Keep them up
Just began using Darkroom and making B&W per your video. App very intuitive! Thanks!
Hi Sean. Yes, a colours tutorial would be very welcome. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great, very clear, concise and helpful video. Yes, please, please do one on color processing as well - especially the aspect of keeping consistency you've mentioned is really interesting for me. I usually end up with results I like (using Snapseed), but they are not all that consistent. Thanks!
Another great video, look forward to something about colour!
Great video!! Helped a lot!

Great vid as always. Keep up the fantastic work. Would love to see you colour process. Also, how about a discussion or commentary on photos/artists you like? Famous or not well known it doesn't matterI. I imagine your style, honesty and thoughtfulness would work a treat with your audience.
