I stumbled across this tid bit of editing in a new program for black and white conversions.

yes it looks amazing

It's different .

Post up the original picture so that we can compare the two .

[Pappy]

its not as accurate as PS, but in some shots i think it works well

yeah i think it looks cool, but i think it will only work on certain photos. play around with it on some other photos and post them up so we can see them.

[Pappy]

this is all ive done, just goofing before i hit the sack. PS would be much more accurate but too much time for someone like me who dont know how to use it haha

Ya like it was said ... it'll work great for some shots.

The quad shot isn't bad , but I think full colour would look better . The jersey shot on the other hand looks GREAT with the effect.

I did a few of IMO ****ty shots with bad lighting and they helped a ton, turn a crap shot into something decent but i dont feel like uploading them tonight.

oh well, its all fun

I'm sure working with all the after effects of a photo is a whole project in itself;) If they could be toned down a bit to match closer to the number plates I think it would help. They kinda stand out as it is now:p Could be a good thing if it were an ad for the hand guards though:D

[Pappy]

here ya go joe, they match in even lighting:p

Ahhh.. Much better:D

Many manipulated photos can look great and when is obviously apparent that was the intent like in the trophy pic it's easier to pass it off as intentional. But when the pics look cartoonish it may not such a good thing:p

I'm picking up little 'tidbits' of info from you and others who post their experiences in these photography threads;)

[mod440ex]

i think the gncc cup looks aesome, im sure your stuff is much better but i kinda have the same effect on my digital camera.

i think grey photos look awesome, it really makes you focus in on the other details rather than the color.
