amy winehouse conversion

[Shorn]

I have been trying my hand at converting from colour to black and white, this is my attempt so far.
Would anyone like to have a go to see if an improvement can be made.

what did you use to make your conversion? Lots of ways to do a b/w

The initial lights arnt brill but its a gig!

I'll have a go now with it

Simple alterations in LR

thanks

 

[sakura]

reduced the colour using hue/saturation to stop that pink bleech, used gradient map set at black/white, a bit of levels, then burned in amy, backing band faces, lamp and a bit of background at bout 25% midtones.

Not brill but its acceptable
and bleech is a technical term

 

[Shorn]

much better thanks

Super, hyper, mega contrast, but with a crop and straighten?

Cheers,

Thanks
