It worked beautifully Colin. Thank you so much. Your calm demeaner and excellent teaching skills are fabulous. I make art quilts from my own photos and had always struggles to make them into b&w images that kept the shadow gradients and lines without sacrificing the whites. Your tut here worked perfectly.

[@petronics2454]

Beautifully demonstrated tutorial- I can't wait to try your method out. Thank you

[@oldwolf6091]

That was done very well, and a lot of help to me, thank you for it. I have one question though, what if I wanted to add a wee bit of colour to the finished image, just in a few areas, like the hair for instance? But just suggestive of a very mild natural hair colour? I would be grateful if you could tell. Thanks.

I went through a bunch of other tutorials and got nowheres. But yours, it put everything in a way I totally understood and was able to work with. I finally accomplished this effect for the first time. I know this video is a few years old but it put everything so I was able to get the results I wanted. Just curious, are you still making youtube videos?
