 Re: Sharing B/W Workflows | |
Can't find the other HDR thread that you referenced (would not mind a link to it  ).
I adjust overall contrast and saturation in ACR to get the color image to look good but not over the top.
In CS2 or CS3 (depends on computer used) I will use one or more Channel Mixer layers (or BW layers in CS3) with masks to get the look that I want.
I then use Curves layers masked to get the contrast that I like and may use another curves layer to create a subtle, asymmetric, non-corners vignette.
Final steps are selective blurring and sharpening. The blurring is usually via lens blur or inverted high pass layer. Sharpening is usually smart sharpen.
Couple example shots. Might have posted one of them before...sorry.
