PHOTOSHOP ACTION BW SELECTION
While in portraiture has never gone out of fashion, in the past, black and white was seen a bit obsolete in the segments of beauty and fashion photography, either editorial or commercial.
Recently, it has been heavily re-evaluated, so I thought to create this selection of my favorite black and white Photoshop actions to help you master the simple but complex monochromatic world.
Enhance your portfolio, streamline your workflow and discover some of my favorite black and white effects!
All my Photoshop actions (19 in total) have been tested on many and varied photographs, so that they can be adapted to a great variety of different images. To facilitate the choice of the desired action, I decided to divide the actions into two groups, one dedicated to soft actions that give delicate and light whites and blacks and a group dedicated to stronger actions composed of intense, dark and contrasting gray scales.
Both groups are versatile and work well on both light and dark images. If you want to get a more delicate effect, take advantage of the opacity of the layers, but bearing in mind not to change the layer that creates the black / white!
Let's see the groups in detail:
“Soft Effect”: 10 actions that create generally lighter and more delicate whites and blacks. Perfect for portrait, fashion, beauty and wedding photographers. These actions work great on almost any image and have a good balance of highlights, shadows, and midtones.
“Strong Effect”: 9 actions for a more intense black and white. Suitable for artistic and dramatic tones and can be used in portrait, fashion and fine art photography. These actions are great for those looking to push their black and white in a more artistic way while maintaining a modern look.
This action set is versatile and will give you a lot of satisfaction by playing around with it!
19 BLACK ANDA WHITE GRADING ACTIONS FOR PHOTOSHOP
4 ACTIONS TO ADD GRAIN TO YOUR IMAGES
PDF, USER GUIDE (including some of my favorite recipe combinations)
All actions have been tested on a wide variety of images so they can be useful in most scenarios. However, it is difficult for all actions to work well on all images, so they have all been designed in a non-destructive way. This means that you can step in and change any level or groups of levels, this will help you get the most out of all situations.
The actions have been tested on many types of images, so that they can adapt to a large variety of scenarios, however they may not be perfect for all images so I decided to make the actions customizable. Through its non-destructive application you will be able to modify every single level and group.
Finally, in addition to the black and white Photoshop actions, I also included in the package my favorite actions to apply grain, a finishing touch that is typically added at the end of photographs post production. The addition of grain is a strictly subjective preference, so the application is very personal. I love to add this touch up to my images, so I thought about creating actions to speed up their application.
Among the actions you will find 4 degrees of grain application, from lightest to strongest.
The actions are compatible with MAC & PC and Photoshop CS6 & CC (all versions in ENGLISH language). If you use Photoshop in ITALIAN language CLICK HERE!
Fully compatible with JPG and TIFF formats, but works much better on TIFF images exported conservatively from RAW files.
Actions are NON-DESTRUCTIVE and FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE (through level adjustments, layer and group masks)
