This is a simple question but it doesn’t seem to be here.
My question: Is there a better way to convert a colour image into a B&W (in photoshop) one than just changing the ‘mode’ of the image? By ‘better’ I mean 2 things: non-destructive and also the ability to have more control over the results (the brightness, contrast etc.)
Answer
If it’s a photograph, then there are techniques that make the converted image look like a “better” black and white photograph.
This page “7 Black and White Photoshop Conversion Techniques” seems to cover that particular area of the subject rather well.
