PS B&W Tutorial
First tutorial in this community! Please be sure that I will not re-post my tutorials at ms_vogue. So, the tutorials there will not be re-posted here. Off to a fresh new start!
1 Make a new layer set at Lighten 100% and fill it with #790808 (a maroon color).
2 Make a new selective color layer and match your settings:
Reds: +100 +100 +100 0
Neutrals: +100 -7 -23 0
3 Make a new color balance layer and match your settings:
Midtones: +100 +13 +9
Shadows: +23 -17 -16
Highlights: +1 +7 -3
4 Make a new selective coloring layer and match your settings:
Reds: -100 +100 +100 0
Yellows: 0 0 +100 0
Whites: -100 -79 +25 0
5 Make a new selective coloring layer (promise this is the last one!)
Reds: +100 +100 +100 0
Yellows: +100 +100 +100 +24
OPTIONAL STEP: If your result may be too dark, try duplicating your base picture and setting it on screen. Play with the opacity. If that isn't enough, duplicate it several times.
Done
