Not much difference


I don't think I can tell any difference between these two, the top is the grayscale version and the second, layers - I'm probably just not doing it right because apart from opening an adjustment layer window, the procedure I carried out was exactly the same as for grayscale.

    Tbh I can't see any difference either....but am struggling with this. Not convinced I have done the layers method correctly myself!

    Even though there's not much difference, the shot is great and looks really good in B&W. The layers method I used added a gradient map layer and tweaked all the different colours. I got the method from Kelby's book on Photoshop Elements 6. If you want more details, PM me.

    Bottom one is more contrasty, but I'm wondering if you did a "normal" B/W conversion and then tweaked the contrast would you get the same result as the second one?

    I don't have Photoshop and wouldn't know a layer if it smacked me in the face, so I'm kinda ignoring this bit and hoping it goes away LOL.

    BTW - thanks for your nice comments, much appreciated :)

    OK this is weird, now I can't see a difference! Maybe it's the angle my screen is at when I'm looking at it or something. Who knows?

    There seems to be a tad more contrast in the top one to me. Both nice conversions though. Getting confused with what the layers method is. I grayscale and then tweak the levels is that the same thing?!

    Well I'm not sure about the technicalities but the shot looks good in black & white. I think I agree with Zena about the contrast in the top one. Great set of course photos. Hope we meet again soon on another of CJ's courses :-)

    i don't understans all the technicalities but it does depend of the type of image & RGB channels which makes some images more pronounced than others - either way good image with nice soft light

    Hello I had a good look at the 2 shots above & difference is minimal,I would suggest in making 2 layers, then the second layer try to sharpen it a little and make it overlay, then you will see a sharper difference.
