Excellent tutorial Tom. Thanks. It reinforces the dictum that when editing it should be subtlety, subtlety, subtlety. I am continually disappointed in club competition judges selecting B&W images that, to me, are massively over-produced, saying they are ‘dramatic’. This has the knock-on effect of influencing the appearance of future entries that are edited to suit what is perceived as the required standard for B&W. Glad you reinforced the message that there are basic guidelines to follow but in the end, it’s your image so make it how you would like it to look.
An excellent primer on creating punchy monochrome images from raw files … ta very much! I’m in my second year of shooting mostly B&W JPEG’s using the Acros film simulation on my Fuji X100V but I also record the raw image. Looks like the raw file probably has more potential in some cases so I’ll try that with Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos editors. 📷😄
It's a few years since I used C1, I also need Ps, and C1's price doesn't justify continuing to buy it. When I did, I also found it worthwhile trying the white balance setting, sometimes that made a worthwhile difference. I also used to use masking, I think the last version I used had just introduced white balance into the adjustments that can be masked.

Hi Tom thanks for this excellent tutorial video
It's a few years since I used C1, I also need Ps, and C1's price doesn't justify continuing to buy it. When I did, I also found it worthwhile trying the white balance setting, sometimes that made a worthwhile difference.

I too use C1 but I tend to send the files through Silver FX rather than processing directly in C1. Do you ever use SFX?
No I don't use SFX. I find that Capture One does everything I need it to do.
