Digital cameras may capture colour images, but many photographers love black and white's unique graphic qualities. A growing number have never owned a film camera but "see" in black and white and sense there must be more to it than simply throwing away the colour in Photoshop. While many books cater for both ambitious newcomers and advanced darkroom enthusiasts, black and white is too often treated as an afterthought. It's relegated to a few pages and outmoded techniques, and never explains how the special character of the black-and-white image affects how you work on the digital image.

Advanced Digital Black & White Photography works at the frontier of black-and-white photography and digital imaging techniques. After learning the best ways to make the picture black and white, the reader learns advanced methods of fine tonal control, how to fine-tune the monochrome image, and how to emphasize the subject's qualities. Suitable for beginners and experienced Photoshop workers, with both quick solutions and methods for finer control, this book places technique in a monochrome context and lets you produce the finest, most expressive black-and-white interpretation of the picture.
