In this Adobe video Photoshop tutorial we would like to show you how to create punchy black and white image by using Camera RAW.

Photoshop tutorial

The main editing of your photo and its conversion to black and white will be done with Camera RAW. We open up photo in Camera RAW and we only change parameters of Recovery, Bright, and Clarity in basic settings. Next, we go to the HSL / Grayscale where we convert photo into black and white form. Here we set up parameters according to the needs of individual photo. Keep in mind that you need to achieve a darker and particularly sharper look of your picture. In the next section of this

We will edit photo with Tone Curve panel. We customize parameters – Lights to +10 and Darks to -10. Then we open up image in Photoshop.
