TheMadPeacock On The Sofa

There are as many ways to convert a digital color image too black and white as there are fish in the sea. I want the deep contrast of black and white film but I am a digital boy.. Never have shot film in my life, would not know where to start and I am a computer graphics nerd so film, however alluring, is not a viable option.
I will therefore keep searching; keep growing my collection of black and white conversion techniques because no single technique is going to work on every image. To make the most of your shots you will need choices.

Give this one a try, its very basic, one step up from simply desaturating your image and the results are not that interesting but perhaps these techniques can be applied to a more involved conversion.
