Furthermore, a preset may work well for lens A on camera B but can give completely funky results when using lens C on camera D.Īlso, the input is important: if you took a dull, low contrast picture no preset will turn it into an amazing high contrast one and it will be similarly hard to get a soft boudoir look from a scene with harsh light. I did gather/create some presets for myself but they are often merely a starting point. Their advertising will claim they will easily give your pictures the “best”, “timeless”, “unique”, “high-quality”, “authentic”, “stylish”, “modern”, “retro”, “vintage” look that you want. Many people will try to sell you presets for more or less money (some are also free).

Not because I think it is the best software out there to do it (I don’t know which is) but because it is the software I have most experience with and can get to the results I want with relative ease.īut this also means that some parts of this article may be less useful to you if you are using a different software to process your images. I do almost all of the editing in Lightroom. There are endless ways to edit your images. Software Leica M10 | Voigtlander VM 75mm 1.5 | f/5.6
I can personally recommend two books on this topic: “The Essence of Photography” and “The Art of Photography”, both by Bruce Barnbaum, cover these topics in great detail and understandable even to those who did not grow up shooting B&W film. Same would also apply to a digital B&W camera the slight benefits in resolution and dynamic range over a color bayer array sensor could never outweigh these massive disadvantages to me.īut even if you are in the same position: it helps a lot to get some understanding on “pure” B&W photography even if you only want to convert your color images. Unlike David I have not been shooting analogue B&W film and I also have little interest in doing so, as that would mean having to fiddle with color correction filters all the time.
