Wow, that is such a great tip! Thank you, have really been struggling in the transition from film to digital as I love black and white, but had more work than I liked with getting to a good result when converting RAW files.
Great to hear that you this technique caos one. It does give you a far better starting place for Black and White images doesn't it and saves you time :) Cheers David
A recent begginer in Affinity Photo and find your style of tutorials easy to follow, any chance of a tutorial explaining use of layers and what they are used for sometime in future. Thanks again
David Frost with all of my videos I use Layers, New Live Filters and Adjustments as individual layers. I think it's a great suggestion to go back to basics and I will add that to the list :) Pleased you find the tutorials easy to follow. Cheers David
Thanks Alonzo Hollingsworth, pleased you enjoyed the tip :) Happy New Year to you...Cheers David

Interesting! I added it to my B&W presets. Here's another one based on each colors perceived luminosity (to make color tv films look good on B&W TV:s in the old days). R 30%, Y 89%, G 59%, C 70%, B 11% and M 41%.
At last! Somebody has taken over my adjustment values for Affinity Photo to correctly convert a color image into a black and white. (As published by Affinity Revolution.) I had almost given up. 😊
Love your teaching style! Thank you! Total Newb when it comes to digital editing. I create with b&w film. Would these presets work with a b&w negs or more for converting color levels to shades of gray.
Thanks for the kind words. It is something I would certainly try with a B/W neg, and no reason why it shouldn't work. Let me know how you get on. Thanks again David
Thats a great tip to make a b&w starting point preset. Thanks. Is there any way to get a pure black and white image in Affinity Photo, one without a hint of other colours? My finished results can often show a warm or cool cast, although very subtle. Thanks for any suggestions.
You're welcome @bourbon_sketcher, pleased that you enjoyed the video. As for the colour cast, that could be for a variety of reasons. It could be your monitor...the colour settings you are using. If you try using HSL adjustment and take the Sat. down to -100% does the cast still show? Hope this helps David
@@davro06 Hello David, since writing my comment, I thought about reducing the saturation under the HSL setting, to -100% and that did the trick. Its reassuring to know that that is your suggestion. Thank you for your reply 👍
I never heard of this technique before. It's very effective!
Pleased to hear you found it effective, it makes a better start for B/W's doesn't it. Cheers David
Excellent tutorial David, those settings make all the difference.
Thanks Lazlo :), yes those settings are a good starting place for better Black and Whites. Cheers David
I made the preset and tried it on several photos. What an excellent starting point! 🙏
Thanks Elliott Cobin, I hope you enjoy using the Preset Cheers David

That is a really efficient time saver. I've built the preset and am already saving time on my b/w photo conversions. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful and that you have created the preset WFFJ-TV , does save a lot of time doesn't it :) Cheers David
Thanks you. Better preset than previous one I have been using - plus the other tweaks!
Great pleased to hear that you enjoy the preset. Cheers David

Hope you enjoy using the B/W preset Günther Dippe. That looks interesting and I'll try it out. Cheers David
@@davro06 Yes, I do! It is slightly more contrasty than my suggestion.

Thanks!
You're welcome Eoin Lundy :)
Do you make these changes in the RAW file and then develop them to jpg, or did you first develop them to jpg and then make the changes to BW?
thanks!!!
