In a world full of vibrant colour, why on earth would we want to remove that colour to look at our images in Black and White? You would think that Black and White images would be considered quite dated and old fashioned these days, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Black and White images are making something of a come back as digital photographers rediscover the beauty of monochrome images. Download our Introduction above and if nothing else, you will see some great Monochrome Photography.



A monochrome conversion often simplifies an image. Removing unwanted colour and information in the image can often increase the appeal of the image. If we make the right choices, our black and white conversions are not some quaint throw back to film days, they are a valid part of modern digital photography.

Some pictures just have a little too much information in them and a monochrome conversion simplifies the image and we find the result has greater appeal. The problem we face is that there is no one technique that we can apply and get stunning results every time. Every image contains different colours and they alone will record in different shades of grey. We also need to be aware that a monochrome conversion isn't a shortcut, or a way we can sidestep Photoshop techniques. We need those techniques just the same, because a great colour image, where the tones and exposure are well balanced, will almost always produce a stunning black and white image.

So, on this Disk we take a series of images and work them through in the best way we know how. Apart from the usual information about monochrome conversions we have added loads of other tips and tricks along the way. When we embark on a monochrome conversion, there always seems to be some other technique that we need to complete the work. Well here we include that too and some technical information about how the image was originally shot.
