2. Customize Sliders for Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Magenta:
- After creating the Black &Â White Adjustment Layer, you will see six sliders that each represent a color: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta.
- Slide this slider to control the brightness of the area of the image that previously had that color. For example:
- Merah: Swipe right to brighten areas that were previously red, such as skin or the twilight sky.
- Biru: Swipe left to darken areas that were previously blue, such as sky or water.
- By adjusting this slider, you can create a black-and-white image that has better contrast and detail.
3. Use the Auto Feature or Choose from the Available Presets:
- If you want quick results, you can use the Auto button at the top of the Black & White Adjustment panel. It will automatically adjust the slider based on Photoshop analysis of your image.
- In addition, you can choose from a variety of presets available in the dropdown menu at the top of the panel. These presets mimic the color filter effects used in traditional monochrome photography, such as red, yellow, or blue filters.
The advantages of using Black & White Adjustment are very diverse. With six sliders representing different colors, you can set in great detail how each color will be turned into a grayscale. The results obtained are also more attractive compared to the simple conversion method, because Black & White Adjustment is able to produce black and white images with good contrast and preserved details.
In addition, because it uses the Adjustment Layer, you can change the settings at any time without damaging the original image. There are also presets that make it easy for you to get certain effects quickly, such as a red filter effect to increase the contrast of the sky or a yellow filter to brighten the skin.
Examples of using Black & White Adjustment are very useful. For example, if you want to increase the contrast in the sky, you can choose the Red Filter preset, which will darken the blue sky and brighten the red areas. For portraits, the Yellow Filter preset can be used to brighten the skin and give it a more natural look. If you feel confused about adjusting the slider, you can click Auto to get a balanced result automatically.
With Black & White Adjustment, you can create black-and-white images that are not only visually appealing but also have strong depth and emotion, according to your creative needs. This technique is ideal for photographers and editors who want complete control over the black-and-white conversion process.
