Default B&W Conversion Portrait
This is a picture of my gran daughter Monnie sleeping I took it and decided I wanted to try it in B&W.
First I used levels to tweak and correct the colors in the color version just a lil then I used the B&W conversion and tweaked while in the B&W setting I picked portrait and then I customized it by using less, red, blue and green.
Here it what it looks like.

Before



After

What a beautiful child! I love the effect the B&W had on the hair. Makes it glow.

Both photos are gorgeous. But it helps to have such a pretty little model. I especially like the b&w.

Both pictures are beautiful! Congrats!
I wish we can see a darker version of the b&w one
