Lightroom Tip - Split Screen Grayscale Conversion
Lightroom has a very powerful grayscale conversion tool which allows you to adjust the colour sliders just as if you were applying different amount of colour filtration to a black and white image.
If you use the Develop Modules "before and after" split view It becomes much easier, and more effective to make slider adjustments.
The Split view in the Develop Module before Grayscale
conversion
Once you convert the image to
grayscale you can then see both the original colour image
and the converted grayscale. Now suppose you want to darken
the blue sky it becomes much easier to see the effect with
both views in screen.
Split view used to view the real time effect of the
slider adjustments
The colour image shows that the
foreground is best lightened using the Orange slider and
you can see the effect whilst keeping the original colour
image in view.
Very powerful.
Hope you find this
useful.
