Interesting video Anthony. One method I use for B&W conversion is to desaturate all the colors in the HSL panel and that still lets me adjust luminance of each color fully. It doesn't limit adjustments like desaturating using the Saturation slider as you demonstrated.

That is the same method that popped up in my my mind when he mentioned the last method off desaturating everything in one go.

Nice video. Good tip on the tint slider!

This was extremely useful. Thanks!

Thanks for these Anthony. Fifty years ago I would sometimes spend the entire night in my darkroom developing, adjusting and printing BnW prints. This so much easier and less smelly. I took lots from this the main thing being the adjustment to the Amount slider which i have neglected to use. I invariably use the Calibration sliders, particularly the blues. You've definitely made things a lot easier. Thanks heaps.

I work at Kodak many years ago....to long ago. Employees were able to use dark rooms at the "Park" to do developing and print. The realy good think about that was the chemical and the paper was free along with the use of a roll paper drier. It was always fun to experiment with multiple varation on the same photo.......... I miss that. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I found this very helpful as I have recently developed a liking for B&W images as for instance in outback pub photos. For me it's a case of less is more. Carl 🇦🇺

Thanks Anthony - and happy new year.

Hi Anthony, you never fail to give very useful tips and tricks. On your order of events at the start of editing a colour image, admitting my knowledge of editing is way less than yours, I always thought that the editing process itself can or may introduce noise to an image. That said why would you not leave noise reduction as one of the last of the editing steps? Look forward to future videos, and happy new year. Cheers, Fred Jansohn

Thank you very much for this B&W tutorial I am a B&W fan right know, probably because I started with with B&W film many decades ago.

Hello from Istanbul. Thank you for the video

[@darrenwalters2903]

Hi, love watching your tutorial videos. I have now got a MacBook Pro do you recommend getting both Lightroom & Lightroom CC pls?

[@richbottarini86]

My question is why did you not use the basic tab for blacks, whites, highlights and shadows?

[@theovanberkel3524]

Awesome

I like shooting BW in Raw, but when I import it into LRC, the photo is in color (of course) and I can never get the same BW look that it had on the camera screen. One thing I like, is to choose from the BW presets on the left side. But sometimes there may be an element, like softening, that I don't want. My recent favorite preset is PM11.

Look in settings for the option to retain the "original shot" or something like that. Had the same issue lol
