Typically you seize a picture that’s good, however might do with a bit extra pizazz. That’s when creating twin tone pictures in Luminar Neo could make an actual assertion. I’ll stroll you thru learn how to do it.
Begin with some Supercontrast
I began by cropping my picture, however that’s purely elective — you possibly can all the time crop on the finish too. I then added some Supercontrast in my Highlights, Midtones and Shadows. Not an excessive amount of, however you should utilize the Steadiness slider to even issues out a contact as effectively.
Now the black & white conversion
You possibly can attempt one of many presets, however I simply went for the Black & White within the Necessities instruments. Click on Convert to B&W, which is able to strip away the colours in your {photograph}.
Notice which you can nonetheless transfer the coloured sliders to make adjustments to the luminance (or brightness) of the totally different coloration channels inside your picture. This will actually make the small print pop.
Add some firming
That is purely elective however I fairly like so as to add some twin firming to my black and white pictures. You can find Firming within the Inventive set of instruments.
I’m a fan of a contact of blue within the shadows and a few yellow within the highlights. I believe it offers a little bit of a classic vibe. Swap between the Shadows and Spotlight sections, pull the saturation up a contact then modify and slide the Hue slider for every part (Highlights and Shadows). You possibly can then modify the Saturation again all the way down to the required quantities. It’s all private alternative right here.
Similar with colours — you would go Monotone and have the identical coloration for Highlights and Shadows, like cyanotype (Cyan) or selenium (darker blues). Perhaps attempt Pink/Inexperienced or every other mixture you want.
End it off
You possibly can add the Supercontrast right here in case you desire, or some Matte. Crop your picture right here in case you haven’t already. A little bit Movie Grain may add that actual classic contact and also you’re finished. In fact, in case you simply wish to follow the B&W conversion, you possibly can miss the Shade Firming step altogether.
How a lot or how little you modify is totally as much as you. have enjoyable, play with a number of sliders and see what you possibly can create with twin tone and B&W pictures in Luminar Neo.
