Still using yesterday’s work from the previous post, below are three B&W conversions of the same file. Of course, choosing a different preset altogether or making your own from scratch for the first step in the Silver Efex Pro stage will also give (often vastly) different results. For example, the more moderate Agfa APX Pro 100 or Fuji Neopan ACROS 100 will result in a more moderate and natural look well suited for portraits and the like. However, note that by choosing a different film / grain setting in the last step of the Silver Efex Pro stage, you will get a different final result. I don’t really like the contrasty results Tyson goes for, but that’s fine – it’s all subjective. This workflow is also presented as Lightroom / Silver Efex Pro 2 specific, but the general principle of flattening your image can be done in Aperture or Photoshop if that’s what you’re using with Silver Efex Pro.*Įarly in the discussion in the comments section underneath the video, someone gives the actual settings Tyson uses to make the ‘super-flat’ preset, which is useful and helps to set your own starting point. Tyson is addressing the X-T1, but remember, this is exactly the same sensor and engine as in several X-Series cameras and almost exactly the same as in several others – so it will apply across the board, and of course the principle can be modified easily to suit the files of other makers too. Here’s another possible workflow, by Gary Tyson, via Eric Kim‘s website. I wrote a while back about a possible B&W workflow here.
