Making black & white images in digital photography is very different from making these images with traditional film photography. With a digital camera, the photographer takes a color picture, and later in the workflow process converts it to a black & white image. The digital process allows for greater control of subtleties than does traditional darkroom work, but also presents more complex challenges. Using numerous examples and an easily readable format, this practical manual addresses basic as well as more advanced techniques. It begins with a discussion of visualizing in black & white, and then addresses color conversion into grayscale, processing the image digitally, editing the image, and finally making the print itself.
