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 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!
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
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!
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
Honestly, you are so right about quality. I mean you are my favourite photography youtuber. You don't upload often, but every video feels like a work of art. Exquisite content. Love it!!!
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.
Fantastic video tutorial Sean. I am really into my black and white images lately and although I have a similar workflow you have given me some extra tips which I'm sure will help my edits. Really enjoyed this video, thank you again!
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.
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
Hi Sean. Yes, a colours tutorial would be very welcome. Thanks and keep up the good work.

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!
I enjoyed the video and learning about Darkroom; I use Snapseed on my iphone as well. As always your video is well produced and pleasing. Your artful and philosophical discussions about photography, printing, creativity is your strongest card; I hope you will continue inspiring your viewers with your gift. Didn't mind the ad; may look at Squarespace today! Thank you for all you do.
I use the curves from Snapseed on android, works fine! Was waiting for this one by the way, great video and nice squarespace add, not annoying at all, simple as your usual style ☺
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!
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'd really love to see how you process colors! So please make another tutorial like this for the color version. Love this video so much, simple yet informative! Keep up your work, Sean!
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!
Sean love your tutorial style so a tutorial on colour grading would be great - especially in lightroom. I also want to know whether it is worth paying for colour presets and how easy is it to make your own?
Hey Sean! Excellent info! You're fascinated by cine so you probably know this... You mentioned that they used to use colour filters in black n white photography. Back in the Black & White MOVIE days, they used to use red filters in order to mimic NIGHTTIME scenes while actually shooting during daytime. This allowed actors and crew to still see what the heck they were doing AND to NOT have the film end up too grainy. John Ford used this technique a lot in his B&W westerns. So, with playing with red sliders AND exposure, one can mimic (a bit) nighttime shots taken during daytime. This process has the name "day for night". (Once they started switching to colour film they scrambled to use new techniques, like using tungsten film in daylight, lowering exposure and using blue filters... but that's a different subject.)
If you're interested in that you should check out the recent film ,'The Lighthouse' where they used a cyan filter to turn red hues dark, making the skin grainy and craggy, and turning blood as black as oil. Very clever stuff.
@@seantuck OH MY GAWD, Sean... I'd seen the trailer last fall and when I realized that Defoe was the dark face (SO ortho!) I was staring at I thought "I've GOT to see this" but then before I knew it a few months had passed and COVID happened! Welp... sure enough, I've GOT to find it and watch it!!! I LOVE old Hollywood hard, incandescent lighting. And, looking at the trailer again NOW, you're right... the tones, the grain and the ortho look are gorgeous! BTW... google the heck out of "Saturday Night at the Movies" hosted by "Elwy Yost". This is what I watched every Saturday all through my impressionable teens. When other people shy away from "old, boring, colourless Black & White" I'll be there! I grew up with "A Christmas Carol" (Alastair Sim version) in B&W. When the colourized version came along, I HAD to turn down the colour in order to watch it! LOL Cheers!
I am just playing around with lightroom and sliding back saturation and then trying to use HSL sliders has no effect, however clicking B & W and then using the HSL sliders works the same as shown with the app here, this is in raw by the way and as is already said, all colour info is retained....enjoyed the tips given in this vid.......thanks Sean.
Thanks Sean that's been really useful advice. Not used Darkroom before but I'm now a little more wiser. 👍for a colour tutorial when you get time to produce one.
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!
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
Cool that you used Snapseed too as that's what i edit all my phone photos with (I'm doing the 365 project so i'm shooting everything digital on my phone, as i predominately shoot film) and i sometimes miss the "punch" in black and white.
Hello, I am curious about one thing. How do you edit your images(colour and BW) so that they have that clean look. It is hard to describe, but they look so crystal clear and sharp. Amazing.
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?
I found this extremely interesting and helpful as other of your videos. I’m sure it will help me edit my bw shots to be more dramatic. I would be very interested in a video on how you edit color photos. Thanks so much for your willingness to share your experience and expertise.

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.

I have learned more in this short video than many other tutorials for both applications. Thank you.
You´ve helped me so much to understand how to edit more than use presets. Thank you!
The more I see your pictures and videos more i love your work! Very professional. Congratulations
Love how you explain everything in detail. Makes a novice like myself keen to try these techniques
This is the best black and white tutorial I've ever watched😍😍
