Many thanks for your great tutorial. What a superb picture/photograph. I haven't used any software packages before but I'm hoping to use Lightroom and Nik Silver Efex soon. Can't wait. Oh, and I'm now subscribed.
Great tutorial. Your comment on fine art collections and art hanging in your mum’s back room made me laugh out loud. So true. Great tips I’ll be trying this evening.
Thanks for sharing your tips. I learned a lot. I haven't taken the plung on NIK yet but I think it's worth the money, especially for B&W conversions. Much appreciated!
Hello Andy. Ive just come across your channel (and have subsequently subscribed), and in this video - which I love what you did with the bird - you mention landscape photography. I have a task from SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) to turn a colour landscape image (lake, land and sky) into a monochrome image, maybe fine art. Do you have any videos on this or considering undertaking one? Also, what is Nik Silver Efex, a stand alone App? Great work, thanks.
Yea - a mono conversion is on the books. In the mean time I can recommend Christian's video which is a great entry-point to B&B conversion - ua-cam.com/video/QF26sOlV05M/v-deo.htmlsi=dKqOrvqSE639eKeK
Thanks for your usual great job. I agree that the Gen AI tool can do a great job, any insights into the 'monthly stroke allowance' that Adobe are going to introduce after it is out of early acess?
I enjoyed this - I don't currently use any of the Nik efex tools, but it looks effective... I would like to add to your comment about not having to use AI generative remove on LR all the time - it is probably worthwhile noting that the AI generations on all Adobe generative things is limited to 720 dpi so won't match the resolution of the original image... I still use it but only when it is necessary.

Very kind Michael - and welcome. :)

Glad you found it useful!
Thank you Andy for the helpful tutorial and tips! God bless, good lock and keep creating!
You're very welcome!
Like the reflections on fine art 🤣You got the process over so well there. Well worth the watch
Thanks mate. :)

No worries - glad it was helpful. :)
Choice. Humour and insight. Please keep it up!
Cheers, I will :)
Increasing the saturation before switching to Silver Efex was new to me, I will give it a try with my own photos. Thanks a lot for that!
No worries - it make a big difference particularly on shots that have a relatively small dynamic range. :)
Ok never thought of increasing saturation before sending to Silver efx. Very cool, thanks. #2. Often use the Ilford film sims in my conversations
I used to print on Ilford paper back in the film days - love the way it looks.
Wonderful suggestion to increase the Saturation. Thank you !!!
You are most welcome!
Brilliant photo - I draw a a fair number of birds when I can find a reference...I'm jealous. :) Thanks for the lesson - lot's of good tips.
No worries - and thanks. :)
Thanks mate, I'm interested in this, and a great video to show how 'easy' it can be (if you know what your doing like you!)
lol - thank-you - I'm going to do some more of this type of processing so watch this space.
this is interesting where do i get the film grain by film type settings….😮?
Interesting, i applied this inside Photolab 8 with first adjustment of saturation and vibrance then a black & white preset, and it looks not too bad.
It definitely helps. :)
Funny stuff! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I plan to stroke myself.
😂
thanks
No problem
Nice that we can all get along now... it was getting rough there for a bit.
Peace, love and happiness. :)
Cool, thanks mate!
Do you offer a service to edit other people's photos at all please?
Thank-you - no I don't offer an edit service.
@@Andyhutchinson Please start 🙂
Your first customer is waiting....

Yea, it's really obvious if you do much more than a dust spot. :)
All the bird needs is a bit more air above the wings, my humble opinion.
Your not that funnnny umm 😳
Not sure how I'm going to cope with such a cruel assessment.
