Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a black and white photo of a beach and pier with a dark dramatic sky, bright white clouds, and light sand. The secret is the color slider in black and white. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Good black and white isn't just about removing color. The Adjustment Black and White allows us to adjust how bright each original color becomes when converted to grayscale, like color filters in film photography.

Step 1: Desaturate feels flat

Open the beach photo with the pier.

Step 1: Dsatuat st

Press Ctrl J then Shift Ctrl U. The result is black and white, but flat, with the blue sky and white clouds almost the same gray.

Step 1: Desaturate feels flat

Delete this layer, we'll use a better method.

Step 2: Adjustment Black ae

Add Adjustment Black and White. In the Properties panel, there are sliders for Reds, Yellows, Grays, Cians, Blues, and Magentas. Each slider adjusts the brightness of that color in grayscale form.

Step 3: Dramatic sky

Drag the Blues slider to the left until around minus 40, and Cians to around minus 20. The blue sky becomes dark and deep, while the white clouds remain bright, making the clouds appear glowing and dramatic.

Step 4: Bright sand

Drag the Yellows slider to the right around 90. The yellowish sand and floating wood become brighter, separating them from the dark sea.

Step 5: Curves and vignette

Add a Curves layer with an S-curve for extra contrast. Then create a new layer, paint the edges of the photo with soft black brush with 25% opacity as a vignette. The eyes will focus on the pier and clouds.

Step 6: Save

Compare with the colored photo by turning off the Black and White layer. Save as PSD and export as JPG.

Done!

Done. We have compared desaturated with Adjustment Black and White. Darkening the sky with blues and Cians, brightening the sand with yellows, and adding contrast and vignette. In the next episode, we'll rescue a backlit photo with shadow and highlight. Need to edit product photos for marketplaces, retouch photos, design posters, or social media content?
