Thanks so much for creating this video. Not only was it the help I needed to improve my B&W processing but it also gave me some new insight on how to look for potential B&W photo subjects.

[@bunkermagnus]

I really appreciate your videos. There's no babble, straight to the point with the perfect amount of explanations, served with a soothing voice, first stop for video editing tips!

[@EliInfante]

Quick and striaigt to the point! LOVE IT

[@carolfoote9267]

[@johnbarnstable6103]

Brilliant and easy to follow Thank you Anthony

[@chris-non-voter]

Brilliant 👏 as always. Another excellent video thanks.

[@heab910]

Thank you!! This was so helpful!

[@flightscapeaviationphoto]

great info - been using LR for years and while many of your steps are something I already do ... the points about profile and calibrations ... I was unaware of. I never come away from your videos w/o learning something NEW . Thank you.

[@stevocem]

Anthony, could you please make a video on the Calibration tab, explaining a little more in detail, what exactly is going on when you move those sliders? Many videos say just move the sliders and see what happens, but I like to understand a little better, what is exactly impacted and why. This option seems not to be in the Lightroom, just in the Classic version. Why? Many thanks.

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Thanks, now I would love to see a video showing photos that are much much better in B&W. Yeah, B&W is nice sometimes, but most of the time I don't even think B&W.

[@thormusique]

Incredible video, thanks! Clear and succinct. I've never seen anyone cover the basics like this. Much appreciated, cheers!

[@mattthomas1547]

Thank you Anthony.

[@michaelmcphee2930]

Off to Yosemite now Anthony. Would love to see a Zone preset in there. Really lovely. Thanks Anthony. I've just digitised some B&W negatives I took interest 70s that I'll play around with soon. Your tips will certainly come in handy. Thank you once again.

[@jamesgerboc]

Awesome view of B&W post. Couldn’t imagine 10 steps but as always, you were spot on!

[@antonmuhlbock9486]

Your Videos are very helpful thanks very much greetings from Perth Western Australia

[@Dkev500]

[@daveknight9381]

Thanks Anthony foe sharing. A very easy and informative video. One worth keeping. Cheers Dave.

[@bv52gyf]

Merry Christmas Anthony Been a long time subscriber and always learn something new from your videos. I’m very interested Ed ted in learning low key black and white processing and hoping you can do a tutorial on that please. I have some images sourced from other photographers that I can share if you’d like All the best in 23. Andy

[@vperalta]

This was a great video and so easy to follow.

[@ryanasak]

Thanks!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you again Robert. I truly appreciate your kind support!

[@debbieshriner1308]

Thanks for this video!!! I am glad I am doing this right!! I have been working just about like this video good to know

[@itstimetogo49]

Anthony...when using Gigapixel AI, would these steps be taken before sending the image to Gig Ai....or after?

[@GeoffGrant2010]

Thanks. Is there a way to print your list of steps? Thanks again.

[@geofleigh9184]

Is it important to do these edits in the specific order you have specified? If it is can you please explain why. Another great tutorial btw.

[@rnursemd]

What do you think of LR's auto white/black point? Is it accurate?

[@iqueque]

I appreciate your teaching, but is there a chance you could use a different image for a change?

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

THANK YOU!

[@debbieshriner1308]

Hello, Do you have any presets for sale would like to try some have never used them before Thanks!!!

[@richbottarini86]

Outstanding video. As always, you did not promote yourself. I purchased your presets a while ago. You prepared 25 black and white presets that out shine to one’s that come with Lightroom. For your viewers, check out his presets.

[@BubbleGendut]

Why tone the colour image? To me I would apply B&W profile first so your adjusting B&W image. 1.profile 2.calibration 3.Tone 4. B & W - Colour Luminosity Sliders Then the rest…,

@@AnthonyMorganti Anthony you take the stress out of Adobe products. Excellent content and a soothing presentation. Easy to understand graphics and examples. I used to dread using Lightroom and PS and could not keep up with the changes. Thanks.
