I took a few photos of my friend Terrie today. She needed a shot for a "Senior News" magazine here in central PA. She's competing in a "Senior Idol" competition, and they're doing a story on her. She has a gorgeous voice, and you can hardly tell she's over 50! I hope you like these. These were my favorites of the bunch.

I really like these... the color seems a little red to me.. I played a bit and couldn't get a good fix so took the easy way out.. black and white witha warm tone... Also smoothed out some of the shadows on her face.... What do you think?

Kristy::

Yes.... the color is a little red on that one. I was trying to give it a "music studio" kind of feel, so I put a red Gel in the hair light, and let it bleed over a little. ;)

I really do like your B&W conversion though! What did you use for the conversion? I usually use the Channel Mixer in CS2 set to Monochrome; but I'm looking for something a little easier. ;)

Thanks Kristy!

I don't think there's enough contrast in that black and white conversion. This was done with channel mixer:

I get the idea on the red tones... sorry that went completely over my head...

Here's a re-do on the contrast since the prior poster indicated it was too flat. After having a second look, I can see that he hit the nail on the head. :) I think I was trying to keep it "soft looking" because she seems like a sweet soft person, but compared to the next post, it lacked dimension... I bumped contrast and darkened shadows and mid-tones a bit more..

I just play with levels, contrast, brightness and curves to achieve an effect. Then I always add a warm tone because I think it brings more depth to an image... I don't have a science or a tried and true method... The images call out for different conversions and I haven't seen a one-fits-all method. ;)
