Some of those buildings are still used for their original purposes others have been creatively repurposed and others are, alas, in ruins. He’s also a lifelong resident of an area of the state that’s rich in industrial history and has the buildings to prove it.

The clever bit is that the adjustment only affects tones similar in brightness and color to the pixels underneath the control point itself.Nik Software Silver Efex Pro 2 Manual, How To Intsall Adobe InDesign CC 2018, Lynda.com - Photoshop CS6 One On One: Fundamentals Lifetime Key, Rosetta Stone - Learn.

There are few specialist black and white digital cameras from the major manufacturers, so digital black and white photography usually. Free demo of the Nik software available. This is the version in the 2020 DxO Nik collection. I’m finally getting back to what I love best next to the photography itself: postprocessing the “keepers.”Keith Cooper has been looking at the latest version of the Photoshop plug-in Silver Efex Pro (V2), from Nik Software.

Again, an alternative interpretation, not something to replace the color versions. Here it is above.Then came the inevitable step: a black-and-white conversion. Again it uses Tonal Contrast in Nik Color Efex Pro 4, but here I’ve changed the values to 20%, 25%, 20%, and 20%. I’ve processed two of my photos of the Bradford Soap Works, and here I’m showing you the two versions of one of them.I decided to experiment with creating a third version. This is, let me emphasize, not so much a compromise as an alternative interpretation. The company moved to its present premises in West Warwick in 1931. Bradford was founded in 1876 and named after Bradford, England, which was the center of the textile industry there just as Rhode Island was in the New World.

I will notify the winners by email to request their mailing address.Thank you for participating in my marketing survey! — Oh! At the top of the blog I described the Ashokan Reservoir as “once controversial.” You can well imagine that the destruction and flooding of such a large portion of the Esopus Valley evoked strong feelings, heartache, not to mention the loss of many homes and livelihoods. Each winner will receive the version he or she preferred.All images are printed on high-quality professional Lustre paper, carefully matted and inserted into a protective sleeve before being carefully packed and shipped. From the replies received by Februto both questions I will randomly choose two persons to receive a 5 x 7 print, matted to 8 x 10 and signed by me.

Anastasia’s parish in Orange County, NY to celebrate the centennial of our parish cemetery, and I’ve been asked to provide photos of the cemetery for use in the Commemorative Book and to photograph the event itself. “What would you rather be looking at,” he asked, “this beautiful reservoir or a shopping mall?”To this observer, anyway, that’s a no-brainer.Cardinal Timothy Dolan is coming to St. Near the end of the film, a man was interviewed who observed that if the reservoir had not been built here, this area would undoubtedly have been subjected to massive development.

With more time I would, and probably will, give this one more thought for a more “artistic” rendition, but for now I used the “High Structure (smooth)” preset in Nik Silver Efex, left the other values at 0 but set the Structure at 20.Not leaving anything to chance, I provided a print-out along with the images on a disk. This one is from my “Stieg Larsson’s Sweden” collection. Here below are three of the five images and how I did quick ( very quick — they needed them urgently) conversions of each.For this autumn image of Cooper Lake I used the Neutral preset in Nik Silver Efex Pro 2, set the Brightness to 5 and the Contrast to 10 to ensure definition of what otherwise might have appeared as murky shadows.What to do with a fall foliage image of New Hampshire’s beautiful Shelburne Birches that depends primarily on color for its effect? Relying on the whiteness of the tree trunks for definition, I simply added a B&W adjustment layer in Photoshop and used the “Lighter” preset to ensure some detail in the leaves.It’s usually somewhat easier to do a B&W conversion of a non-nature image. I made my own B&W versions of each photo and reassembled the ad. And I thought, I want it to be my black-and-white, not the printing firm’s default B&W.

The three B&W versions all turned out to look remarkably alike–which, I think, shows that I had a certain vision for the image and ended up achieving it in three different ways. Maybe the variety of shapes and designs would enable it to succeed.I tried four different versions, all with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2: three straightforward B&W and one sepia, since I definitely wanted a sepia in the mix. And yet, because of my ongoing “Rhode Island in Black and White” project, I wondered how such a monochrome version would look.

Whereas my historic collection captures the Enduring–buildings such as at New Paltz’s Historic Huguenot Street or in nearby Hurley or the Kingston Stockade District that have been deliberately and lovingly preserved for their aesthetic and historic value–“Seen Better Days” rather preserves the Ephemeral–before the building gets demolished or renovated or succumbs to the ravages of the weather.My “Seen Better Days” collection lends itself particularly well to black-and-white processing. What do you think?2 Comments black and white fine art modern vintage monochrome Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 photographs Photoshop postprocessing processing Seen Better Days sepiaI was going to call this collection “Dilapidation” until I got a deliciously evocative shot of an alleyway in a rundown town and I didn’t think “dilapidated” really described alleyways. The rationale: If you dial down such an important feature as the color in this image, you have to make the best use of the other characteristics the “softness” of Soft Sepia wouldn’t work, and I had to maintain the structural details–the lines, patterns, designs. Note that the default Structure setting for this preset is -35, so that’s quite an adjustment. Here I adjusted the settings to Brightness 0, Contrast -23, and Structure 56. This was with the Fine Art preset, with Brightness, Contrast, and Structure adjusted to 0, 24, and 65 respectively.For the sepia version I went with Soft Sepia, again with the Nik software.

Here I’m going to show you one photo in three different interpretations.The location of the building is best identified vaguely as “somewhere in the Catskills.” It was for sale and I understand that it has recently been purchased, so obviously I needed to do my work before the new owners do theirs. Some photos can be processed in multiple ways, depending on the interpretation I want to give them.
