Mark, you've just changed my entire black/white editing game. Thanks so much!!

One of the few Tubetographers actually coming up with some original edit techniques that I haven't seen six thousand times before. Most of the time it's "drop the highlights, boost the shadows". Nice one.

I was about to start posting some black and white portraits tomorrow, did a re-edit and they look so much cleaner thanks to your instructions. Thanks a lot!

Great job Mark to find and develop this approach and share it with the rest of us! Very helpful. Thank you!

I have just come across your channel and tried the settings …. Brilliant and thank you for sharing 👍

Fantastic tutorial, Mark! Good on you for thinking out of the box

yes... the name of that preset is 100% accurate. I thought I would never nail the art of black&white editing. But with this... WOW. I guess I won't why away again if someone wants shots in b&w. Thanks so much for this!

I like the way you’re explaining this: focusing on subject’s details and our perceptions, not on tools👌

I've been doing this a while by just pissing around. Something to add to this, Alt click when saving a preset and save it as a Profile. That way you can adjust the HSL even further, since it's still technically a colour image not BW. also, you would just have to add the clarity after but it's better that way since u can just add it on a mask

Thanks not just for the settings but also to encourage some bravery whilst crushing the blacks! I still use your other technique for desaturating and selectively adding back colour - really works well on some images and has actually rescued a couple that just were not working.

I am loving these Lightroom videos--keep it up!

Cheers mate, simply said and done, no rambling, love it, thx🙏

Great. Really like your approach to editing. I always take bits and bobs from your editing style which has really made me become more versed and confident. Thank you.

Great video! Quick and to the point, no annoying filler. You've got a new sub

This is wild! Awesome technique and incredible results!

Truly remarkable video, thank you

Excellent tutorial and technique. Thank you for sharing.

Lovin it!! Definitely going to try your new editing technique. Thanks a lot 🙌🏽

Thank you Mark, always learn something quick and fast with you, something that always improves my editing, my workflow and my general life 🎉 Thanks buddy. Owe you a drink.

So glad I found your page! Your videos are so helpful!

That’s amazing Mark, thank you very much☺️

All this in 6 minutes. Really great. Thank you.

Fantastic, thanks for this video and technique!

Love your set. Good lighting and color grading as well.

Amazing, as your videos always were!

Brilliant technique Mark and will defiantly be using regularly.

This is going to be real step forward for my Black and White images! Big thanks!

Perfect.... thank you. It's nice to get a different option for presets. It looks great 👍

Just like your other video on editing in colour using B&W this is brilliant!! I am trying it out as we speak...

This is great! Learning so much from your videos!

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot for sharing this technique!

That is a great tutorial on black and white. Greatful to you

Thanks for this great lesson! Bravo from Montréal, Canada! 📸❤️👍

You are the best. Thanks for this! 🙌🏾🙌🏾😊

THANK YOU ! This is EXACTLY what color scheme i'm searching for years !

This is actually a really awesome trick!

I thought this guy must be crazy when I first started watching the video! Nobody creates B&W by turning down saturation... But then I saw the results. Excellent. Now I'm trying to get my head around why it works so well. I'm pretty sure similar results could be obtained with more conventional techniques. But happy to be proved wrong.

Already tried it - looks fantastic! Thank you so much)

Thank you!! All the best from Norway!

This has made a big difference to the way I process my images.

Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing !

Hi Mark, thank you for this, it completely change the game !

Very clever, I can’t say I’ve ever used this technique. Going to have some fun playing around with your method. Thanks for sharing 👌🏻👊🏻

excellent job Mark

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your settings, now saved as a preset, & used on one image so far, and works great, shifting the green balance worked well for me. Just need more time to play properly. Need to try this on my IR images next and see if I can infuse this into some custom profiles I use for IR [for expanding 'temperature' range]!

I love making B&W photos, but never thought about doing it this way. Thanks for the advise :)

Very Nice!! Thank you! Just the video I needed to see!

Awesome! Thx Mark!!

Game changer....thank you so much!

great channel Mark. Love your approach - fast and yet clear, you touch on what you're doing with enough detail to allow the learner to grasp what you are doing - all in the service of making great images / art. See you're up in Scotland from time to time - I love Glencoe ('I'm from the west coast), tho living in Dundee, am appreciating the east coast light! Keep up the great work!

Really impressive and unusual. Loved it. Thanks.

i tuoi consigli e la tua competenza sono sempre preziosi

Game changer! Thanks mark for sharing. New subscriber

Great tutorial 🎉 thank you!

It’s always nice to see another way of converting to B/W. I’ll probably stick with my method, but I’m keeping your technique in my back pocket, just in case. Thanks for taking the time to share your process.

Perfect editing approach, Mark, and thanks a lot for sharing. Yes, that Tint slider is the key point how to adjust the natural tones on the photo, I usually get perfect results for portraits at the value -30

Thank you Mark!

Thank you very much! Fantastic!! 🤩🙏

Wow! this is really good. I'm in deep shock...this tutorial changed my b&w photography :) thank you..

Genius, thank you so much!!!😁

effin amazing!!!

wow Mark. I learned so much from this video. So now you are my new nr one to follow

Thanks Mark, great ideas. I working on a couple presents based off this, one for portraits, one for other images.

it worked! thank you so much!!

Brilliant!!

Hi Mark, great new approach to B&W editing! I will definitively try it myself. Thanks for this fresh idea. The results you showed are really worth a try. Greetings from Vienna, Enver

Super interesting technique, thanks.

Nice. I'll try it now ☺️ Many many thanks

I'll give this a try. I have a similar technique which begins with desaturated each color as you showed, but then I adjust the luminance sliders for each color to achieve the desired look. Your technique which adds changing the color temp and tint looks interesting...I'll work it into my next conversion!

Excellent. Shall try it out

Excelant tutorial. Thank you
