Hi, I decided you were one of my best bets for photoshop advice since you seem to be a photoshop fairy, but haha do you know what's the best way to convert an image to black and white so it seems to pop, and not seem dull and washed out?? Thanks if you answer :)
Well for starters, I like using the gradient map for b&w(this brightens the image more) instead of the regular plain b&w option(this darkens the image), it also depends on what kind of psd you use. Don’t just use the same one over and over again, at least try one new psd( i have 16 psds saved and i mess around with all of them)( i like colors okay) another thing I do with the gradient map b&w is change the layers placement, sometimes i put the layer below the psd, sometimes i put it above the psd, and sometimes i put it between the layers the psd has. With photoshop, you just have to mess around with it until you fins something you like. I don’t know if this helped or not but if it did good for me…you…i don’t know I’m done here -edit- don't forget to smart sharpen and if i forgot anything else i'll add it in later
