Last month we reviewed the brilliant “Magic of Black and White” e-book and this weeks sees not only the release of second instalment but a special offer for Seven by Five readers.
The Magic of Black and White series is about the craft of converting the captured image into black and white in the digital darkroom.
Where Part One – Vision, looked at the process of seeing and capturing in monochrome, Part Two – Craft, looks at the tools needed to turn a colour digital negative into a spectacular-looking black and white image using the software of the digital darkroom, specifically Adobe Photoshop.
The Magic of Black and White, Part Two – Craft is a 51 page downloadable PDF. The layout has been forced into a landscape format to make viewing on the iPad even better. Using a good PDF reader like GoodReader, these PDF eBooks retain the rich layouts we’ve always created, as well as allowing non-iPad users the same great experience they’ve always had.
Check it out in Goodreader (iPad).
The book covers all aspects of black and white post production.”Black and white photographers have never had it so good. now, instead of printing in a darkroom, i can sit in front of my computer with a cup of tea, listening to my favourite music while i edit my photos. it’s much better.”
Addressing the philosophy and creative vision of Black and White photography this ebook addresses the fundamentals of reading and understanding your image and in doing so educating on how best to use Photoshop (and alternatives) to get the best from your photos. The book covers how to best use textures as well as demonstrating with a number of worked examples.
