When you want to create a powerful black-and-white photograph, your camera is just the starting point — the next, and equally important, step is processing the image. In this 6-week class, learn how to deepen the drama and expression of your images and take more control of how they look overall using Silver Efex, a powerful black-and-white plugin for Photoshop and Lightroom included in the Nik Collection. Kai will guide you through the program’s sophisticated monochrome-specific tools to help you craft a wide range of compelling interpretations from your RAW files, and weekly exercises will strengthen your black-and-white visualization skills and give you hands-on experience developing your own expressive style. Whether you’re a recent convert to digital black-and-white photography or a veteran of the darkroom looking to emulate film work of the past, you’ll discover new ways to take control of your black-and-white images and express yourself.
