Black & White Photography - Scroll down for lessons
About"Back in the day" photographers used film to create their photographs (and before that, they used glass plates). Wow. Now we create color images in digital cameras and then convert them to black and white images in Photoshop. It is important that you pay attention to contrast and detail when converting your images. Digital black and whites can look "muddy" if you don't do it right. See "Actions" (to the right).
