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.
Sean Tucker Thank you. :)
Sean Tucker i have been using snapseed for like, 8 months, but never knew i could have so much control using colour sliders. Beautiful and easy explanation. Now i understand the hsl slider use. Thank you!
Sean Tucker well... You know in Fuji you can shoot and keep both raw and the bw JPEG.
Stelios Kapet yes mate. I know. Thanks.
wow
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.
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.
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
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!
You´ve helped me so much to understand how to edit more than use presets. Thank you!
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.
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!
Just recently started watching this guy's channel and I'm liking it more and more
cheers
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, it has increased my understanding of how to use curves.
I have learned more in this short video than many other tutorials for both applications. Thank you.
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.
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.
love your work Sean. you have the heart and we can feel that you love what you do. a great video as always and please do a tutorial about colour grading too. in fact, please do make videos every day. you are giving me inspiration that I need. thank you!
Your videos are my favorite instructional videos. Thanks so much!
I have been watching your videos, about editing and I find them really enlightening! Thank you very much
This was great - some stuff I never really considered here. Would love to see the color version! Thankyou once again
Thanks for this Sean - have been working with tone curves but the subtle difference the HSL makes will take it to the next level. 👏
Great channel Sean, by far one of my favourites on TH-cam
Lovely tips for editing B&W images. Great video as always, Sean!
Just began using Darkroom and making B&W per your video. App very intuitive! Thanks!
Editing images in color. Yes, please!

Love your videos. Very genuine and always helpful. Thanks so much.
This was an excellent tutorial... used it with snapseed.... great help thank you.
Interesting . I tend to use Snapseed to achieve similar effects . Both appear great tools and invaluable for most of us processing our digital images and posting them on social media or producing photo books. Thanks for showing us your processes
A tutorial on color grading would be amazing! And great job on this one! Really liked the way you presented the entire theme.
Thanks for sharing! Love the new Q&A approach! Can't wait for your workshops!! Some coming in Austria I hope! 😆
Hi Sean. Thank you for this great video. It's definitely an easy way to achieve great results. I, for one, would be extremely interested in a color grading tutorial. Take care

Great video, sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and revealing the true potential of these apps. I've never thought I could use Snapseed more precisely than just using its filters. Quite helpful!

Great video, Sean. I have enjoyed your stuff--and your heart--since stumbled onto the Snowdonia video. I'd love to see your color grading advice. Thanks!
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!

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.

Welcome:)
Really enjoying Sean's tutorials, very clear and concise explanations. I am looking to move on from iPhone photography to something that offers more opportunity for control and creativity. To that end have recently bought a GR3 which I am gradually (and I mean gradually) getting to grips with via TH-cam clips, especially Sean's. Any opinions on whether I should shoot RAW from the off or start out with JPEG and move to RAW as my abilities with the GR3 (hopefully) improve?
