I was about to start posting some black and white portraits tomorrow, did a re-edit and they look so much cleaner thanks to your instructions. Thanks a lot!

Great job Mark to find and develop this approach and share it with the rest of us! Very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks not just for the settings but also to encourage some bravery whilst crushing the blacks! I still use your other technique for desaturating and selectively adding back colour - really works well on some images and has actually rescued a couple that just were not working.

Fantastic tutorial, Mark! Good on you for thinking out of the box

I like the way you’re explaining this: focusing on subject’s details and our perceptions, not on tools👌

Mark, you've just changed my entire black/white editing game. Thanks so much!!

bro even added it as his pfp which means this video work

Great. Really like your approach to editing. I always take bits and bobs from your editing style which has really made me become more versed and confident. Thank you.

Cheers mate, simply said and done, no rambling, love it, thx🙏

I am loving these Lightroom videos--keep it up!

Great video! Quick and to the point, no annoying filler. You've got a new sub

This is wild! Awesome technique and incredible results!

So glad I found your page! Your videos are so helpful!

Lovin it!! Definitely going to try your new editing technique. Thanks a lot 🙌🏽

Just like your other video on editing in colour using B&W this is brilliant!! I am trying it out as we speak...

Excellent tutorial and technique. Thank you for sharing.

Perfect.... thank you. It's nice to get a different option for presets. It looks great 👍

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your settings, now saved as a preset, & used on one image so far, and works great, shifting the green balance worked well for me. Just need more time to play properly. Need to try this on my IR images next and see if I can infuse this into some custom profiles I use for IR [for expanding 'temperature' range]!

That’s amazing Mark, thank you very much☺️

Brilliant technique Mark and will defiantly be using regularly.

Perfect editing approach, Mark, and thanks a lot for sharing. Yes, that Tint slider is the key point how to adjust the natural tones on the photo, I usually get perfect results for portraits at the value -30

This is going to be real step forward for my Black and White images! Big thanks!

I'll give this a try. I have a similar technique which begins with desaturated each color as you showed, but then I adjust the luminance sliders for each color to achieve the desired look. Your technique which adds changing the color temp and tint looks interesting...I'll work it into my next conversion!

How did it go? Did you try it? What were the results?

i tuoi consigli e la tua competenza sono sempre preziosi

This has made a big difference to the way I process my images.

Fantastic, thanks for this video and technique!

THANK YOU ! This is EXACTLY what color scheme i'm searching for years !

Thank you Mark, always learn something quick and fast with you, something that always improves my editing, my workflow and my general life 🎉 Thanks buddy. Owe you a drink.

Love your set. Good lighting and color grading as well.

I love making B&W photos, but never thought about doing it this way. Thanks for the advise :)

One of the few Tubetographers actually coming up with some original edit techniques that I haven't seen six thousand times before. Most of the time it's "drop the highlights, boost the shadows". Nice one.

Thanks Andy.

Thanks Mark, great ideas. I working on a couple presents based off this, one for portraits, one for other images.

great channel Mark. Love your approach - fast and yet clear, you touch on what you're doing with enough detail to allow the learner to grasp what you are doing - all in the service of making great images / art. See you're up in Scotland from time to time - I love Glencoe ('I'm from the west coast), tho living in Dundee, am appreciating the east coast light! Keep up the great work!

Thanks Joe, appreciate that!

All this in 6 minutes. Really great. Thank you.

That is a great tutorial on black and white. Greatful to you

Thanks a lot for sharing this technique!

It’s always nice to see another way of converting to B/W. I’ll probably stick with my method, but I’m keeping your technique in my back pocket, just in case. Thanks for taking the time to share your process.

Already tried it - looks fantastic! Thank you so much)

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing, as your videos always were!

This is great! Learning so much from your videos!

yes... the name of that preset is 100% accurate. I thought I would never nail the art of black&white editing. But with this... WOW. I guess I won't why away again if someone wants shots in b&w. Thanks so much for this!

This is actually a really awesome trick!

Just set up the preset according to your advice expecting a 'So what?' result. It's so much better than any B&W preset I had. Thank you.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing. I always struggle to convert my color shots to B&W to my satisfaction. This tutorial has been a big help.

Great to hear, Liam! Happy editing.

You are the best. Thanks for this! 🙌🏾🙌🏾😊

Very clever, I can’t say I’ve ever used this technique. Going to have some fun playing around with your method. Thanks for sharing 👌🏻👊🏻

Hi Mark, thank you for this, it completely change the game !

Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing !

I've been doing this a while by just pissing around. Something to add to this, Alt click when saving a preset and save it as a Profile. That way you can adjust the HSL even further, since it's still technically a colour image not BW. also, you would just have to add the clarity after but it's better that way since u can just add it on a mask

Very Nice!! Thank you! Just the video I needed to see!

Im looking to improve my editing tecnique for my b/w photos, so this came in quite handy! Thnx!

Thanks for this great lesson! Bravo from Montréal, Canada! 📸❤️👍

Thank you!! All the best from Norway!

excellent job Mark

wow Mark. I learned so much from this video. So now you are my new nr one to follow

Awesome! Thx Mark!!

I have just come across your channel and tried the settings …. Brilliant and thank you for sharing 👍

I'll definitely have to try this

This is so cool! Love B&W Pictures but always struggled to prevent them from looking washed out - not with this method!

Thank you Mark!

Game changer....thank you so much!

Really impressive and unusual. Loved it. Thanks.

Excellent. Shall try it out

Genius, thank you so much!!!😁

Nice. I'll try it now ☺️ Many many thanks

Wow! this is really good. I'm in deep shock...this tutorial changed my b&w photography :) thank you..

Super interesting technique, thanks.

Game changer! Thanks mark for sharing. New subscriber

Hi Mark, great new approach to B&W editing! I will definitively try it myself. Thanks for this fresh idea. The results you showed are really worth a try. Greetings from Vienna, Enver

Thank you very much! Fantastic!! 🤩🙏

Genius...I always use this preset,it looks fabulous especially with portraits

it worked! thank you so much!!

Great stuff! I dialed in these adjustments on my Ricoh Gr iiix jpeg settings. You can add same white balance adjustment and a +100 green color filter. Gonna do some comparisons to see i am achieving the same effect. Thanks for this!

Brilliant!!

effin amazing!!!

Thank you! Will try this out!

Great tutorial 🎉 thank you!

excellent tips! thanks for this

Excelant tutorial. Thank you

Thank you for your video instruction. Tried it on some of my Raw photos. it works like a charm without any special effort to over editing and or guess editing. Just an advice for photos that are JPEGs or not exposed as they should/over saturation etc, one needs to remove any previous editing and than use this editing method for converting to B&W.

Awesome mate, gonna try this.

Great stuff, Mark, thanks :)

Great technique, thanks for sharing ✌

Never tried this. Great video. Thanks.

*Mark, thanks so much!*

Very helpful! Thank you so much!

I've learned a lot! Thanks

great video Mark

Thank you for this fantastic tip

Wow, thank you for sharing 🤗

Awesome tip!!

This is awesome!

Amazing tutorial thank you so much.

Thank you, greatly appreciated.

AWESOME.. What a great idea..

Great tutorial 🙏🙏

I thought this guy must be crazy when I first started watching the video! Nobody creates B&W by turning down saturation... But then I saw the results. Excellent. Now I'm trying to get my head around why it works so well. I'm pretty sure similar results could be obtained with more conventional techniques. But happy to be proved wrong.

The best BnW editing I have seen today! Thanks. Will use it right now !! Another Subscriber :))
