I love color.\u00a0 I see in color.\u00a0 I really favor color over B&W images.\u00a0 But strong B&W images do have impact that is often lost with the distraction of color.<\/p>\n

Even though most of the photographs on my wedding photography blog are in color, there was a recent wedding which\u00a0I showed as a set of B&W images instead.\u00a0\u00a0 What happened was\u00a0that when\u00a0I started editing the images from that wedding\u00a0for the blog, first one image, and then another, looked really good as a warm-toned B&W \u2026 and then I decided to go all the way and create a blog entry that consisted only of B&W images.<\/p>\n

\nI’ve had\u00a0a number of queries about how I process my black and white images with that warm tint.\u00a0\u00a0It is usually very simply done in Bridge, using a preset I created in ACR.\u00a0 This way I can select multiple images and then select this specific preset.<\/p>\n

The warm tone comes from adjustments in the Split Toning tab. A slight vignette is also added via the Lens Corrections tab.<\/p>\n

I do adjust the contrast and brightness\u00a0as well as\u00a0other settings, in order to get to an image that I like.<\/p>\n

And that’s how I do it.\u00a0 Of course, the whole wide world is open for adjustment-to-taste according to your own personal taste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
