One of the best tutorials I’ve seen where the photographer works through each decision and shows all of the effects of different sliders but how you evaluate it’s impact on the image you are looking to achieve
2:38 Applying an appropriate profile 3:56 Exposure and exposure peaking with the blacks and whites 5:16 To add or reduce contrast? - it might not be what you'd expect 7:18 Discussing how we want to lead the viewers eye and overall decision making 8:13 Texture, Clarity and Dehaze - how to use them 9:15 Random background noise courtesy of my son during covid-19 lockdown 10:56 How to adapt the tonality locally by changing the brightness of individual colours 12:43 Checking our progress 13:27 Applying localised adjustment filters - my favourite tool for refining the black and white 15:40 Creating fake fog / mist / haze with lightroom's filters 17:05 Working with masks to pin point adjustments 22:24 Adding a more precise vignette ...not with the vignette tool! 24:10 Dreamlike look by playing with the vignette 26:29 Some ideas for image enhancement with the tone curve 27:20 Creating a vintage faded look with the tone curve 29:27 Finishing touches and adding a unique look with a lightroom plugin (link in description)
@@AnthonyTurnham I did - I ended up skipping the OS X App Store and purchasing directly from Skylum. Luminar 4.2 is markedly better than 4.1, though the export speed is still far slower than I expected. Still a great editor, though.
Interesting that you mentioned double clicking on the blobby arrow on the adjustment lines (or whatever they are called) but didn't mention that the same hack works if you double click on the name of the adjustment as that is a bigger target...
I take my photos in black and white. I’m interested in your option as a professional photographer why you don’t shoot your photos in black and white from the start ? You said at the start of this video i knew this was going to be a black and white photography. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 andrew
Hey there Andrew! As I shoot digitally, regardless of the in camera settings it'll still record in colour to three separate channels that make up the colour images. IE red, green and blue. This is useful for black and white because we can set the brightness values of each channel, giving a lot more flexibility than just recording in greyscale.
Hmmm. Yes I remember when that was added - although not which version it was. It's a useful slider but not an absolute must have. Similar results can be achieved with a combination of other sliders.

Thanks for sharing this video... I'm in my Black and white mode right now, and this REALLY helps!
Thanks Hurley! Funnily enough, I was just thinking I was due doing another black and white editing video.
I too love black and white photos Anthony,
Thanks. Me too!
this is a very well-done demo of using Lr to do B&W conversion... thanks
Thanks Anthony. Really informative. Have only just discovered you. Will look out for more tutorials. Thanks.
Welcome aboard Chris!
Really loved the levels and thought process that you applied to this.
Thanks Joe.

Great job I needed this, the presets didn't do it thanks
Glad I could help
Well done and thank you!
Thank you too!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing the details.
Thanks for watching! Cool name btw.
Great Video! Thank you...
I quite enjoy your videos - thanks for taking the time and sharing. I love Luminar, too...just waiting for 4.2 to be released for Mac OS.
Thanks for watching Curt! Have you got yourself L4.2 yet?

My version of Lightroom doesn't have a 'dehaze' slider.
Hmmm. Yes I remember when that was added - although not which version it was. It's a useful slider but not an absolute must have. Similar results can be achieved with a combination of other sliders.
@@AnthonyTurnham As I previously mentioned I have Adobe Lightroom 6.
Why don't you shoot in camera Monochrome?
Converting to B+W in Lightroom is easier than trying to get B+W right in camera.
More control. I always like to give myself more options in post production.
