Nice black & white conversion using simple tools . Breaking the myth that black & white images are very difficult to make .
Also it is very interesting to learn the skills that make BW images better than color ones.
Yes it was agood match!
The course seemed too short in the beginning, but it was just perfect. I have just finished it and it was just what I excepted. Great course, great photographer. My black and white photography has drastically improved thanks to this course.
This is excellent. I already knew curves, levels etc but watching the instructor's thought process on example portraits is great.
Good explanation of tools, but editing demos at the end of course is exactly how you should not work. Wrong working with masks with poor result. This course is not for all levels, but for beginners with very poor Photoshop skills.
This is an excellent course. I have learned so much concerning curves and how RGB works. very grateful.
Good course, but it was all focused on portraits. The course description could have mentioned that. I was really glad to see editing being done in Photoshop.
It was such an insightful course. As a lover of black and white photography, this course is going to help me a lot when it comes to post processing my projects.
I am learning so far a lot that I did not know and enjoying it.
