Creating beautiful Black and White images requires more than just clicking the Black and White button. Let's Ditch Auto and get out of the one button solution mindset when creating black and white photos.
Lightroom is a powerful editing tool, and it has a lot to offer us when it comes to creating black and white images. Besides performing the actual black and white conversions, I go into detail on why I decided to convert an image to black and white.
This course is for the photographer who has played around with black and white conversions but does not fully understand how to get a dynamic conversion from one of their color photos.
This course is great for the beginner who is new to Lightroom or the seasoned Lightroom user who just wants to find new ways of converting images to black and white.
The course is structured in the same way I process images during my post production process. I always take a moment to think about the photo before I do anything drastic. Not all photos will make a good black and white image.
In this course, I talk about the image and why I think it would be a better photo in black and white. I learn by example and that is exactly the way I teach. I walk you through my thought process down to each slider adjustment.
If you are interested in learning more about black and white conversion, you will love this course.Who this course is for:

Anybody who wants to learn new methods for creating Black & White Photos.

Hi all, I am a website designer and photographer who has been working for himself since graduating high school. I taught myself website design and development so I could start my own business. In 2005 I taught myself photography and started a photography business as a professional wedding photographer. Since then, I have helped hundreds companies and organizations market their products and services online. As a photographer, I continue to capture photos and produce video for weddings, events, conferences and more.
I teach because I was taught by so many through blog posts, articles and online videos. Teaching allows me to give back and teach others the way I would have liked to be taught. Many of my courses are free because I believe in giving back.
I am a husband and father with three amazing kids. You can learn more about me at my website. I hope to see you in one of my courses. Thanks so much!

Easy to understand

By Prabin Baniya

Excellent presentation and tutorial. Highly recommended to anyone who is into photography.

By Gary Spires

A good short to the point course in B&W converions.

It will certainly give you the knowledge in what you have to do.

By Zac Shan

Jerad, you are awesome. This course in interesting. The information that you shared is really helpful. Looking forward to future courses. Thanks a lot.

By Jim Whiting

Nice, short course with lots of information! Converting to Black & White has always been a mystery to me and you helped to clarify exactly what to look for and how to produce nice results.

Thank you!

By Kamil Gracki

The course was short and straight to the point which I liked. There was a lot of repeating all the time the same moves which I think is also good cause after watching this course you will remember everything very well.

Generally I liked everything but was expecting a little bit more of 'boring' theory how to choose right pictures to change them to B&W (which kind of them looks the best and which I shouldn't even try)

Maybe could be also a bit more about changing a portrait pictures.

By Karen Szatkowski

This is exactly the info I need to convert color to B&W! Thank you! Great course! I would like to add that your method is simple, straightforward and effective. Your explanations were excellent. I actually learned things that should have been mentioned in courses I've taken from others. Like clicking on the upper boxes in the Histogram. I will be recommending this course to my photo club. I think many could benefit from it. Thank you again for this course!

By Tye Eggleston

very interesting concept of changing the color tones of the picture.I really like the way he uses the different sliders to measure the tone of the pictures. Never thought about doing it that way before, but I will in the future. I learned something different when converting to Black and White from color.
