I highly recommend this book to serious students of photography looking to better understand what goes into a great photograph and what approaches can be used to produce the highest quality chromatic grayscale (B&W) images.I took a class with Vincent Versace in July 2015. I bought Oz 2.0 and Oz to Kansas to familiarize myself with his approach, style, etc before the class. I was particularly interested in the B&W work since, like most of us of a certain age, I got started with B&W film photography. I liked what I was reading and began to play with the photos and the techniques he was teaching. As a heavy Lightroom user I did lack the Photoshop knowledge and skills to implement many of the techniques Vincent was presenting - I did not have the recommended skill level to put into practice what he was teaching.With class, and much practice on my part using the book as a guide I am now beginning to "get it". The techniques taught are technical in nature and Vincent does get heavily into his approach to photography in the book. Those thoughts caused me to rethink my approach to photography and what I wanted to accomplish with my work. As I evolved in my skills and understanding, the book became easier to understand and the lessons became better training examples for me to practice and understand what I can do with these approaches and using them on my own photographs.The book is a goldmine of information and I glean more knowledge with each re-reading. I do read sections again before starting a session with a few photos. I keep the book available on Kindle sitting next to my Mac as I work on my own photos. I have tried the different approaches an a single photo to see which ones I am most comfortable with and which ones might work best on a particular photo.The explanations of theory and the background on the physics of light, where the information lies within the digital file and how to plan your way through a conversion have not only changed my approach to processing and how I plan and take the shots in the first place. The discussions about artifacts and how they can multiply through a series of edits hit home as I began to closely examine many of my existing photos.I used to look at a B&W conversion as a way to salvage a usable shot from a less than stellar color shot. Boy, do I look at the world differently now. Chromatic grayscale is a desired endpoint for many photos and getting to such a quality product is much easier if you start with a quality color image. This is a key point of what Vincent is teaching and the point is well made in this book. Work through the lessons on the supplied photosand then on your own, use the book as a constant reference. It works.It isn't easy but it has been so totally worth it. I will gladly gobble up any new books from Vincent and surely hope to take more classes with him in the future.
Truly a great book. At one level this book delivers what it advertises. However, it provides the reader so much more:An in depth understanding of Black and White images from a technical point of view.How to analyze and "develop" your Black and White images.How to make your images reflect what you are trying to say.A great guide to valuable Photoshop techniques that can be used on any image. Worth the price alone.A good introduction to NIK/Google SilverEfex Pro.NOTE:Techniques require Photoshop and NIK/Google SilverEfex (Chapter7/8). There is no reference to other Adobe or Apple software tools.Since it was published some of the links in this book and the corresponding site are no longer valid. Including the sample NIK software. The PS Actions on the website work with PS CS 6 and some earlier versions. I cannot confirm they will work with PS CC. My suggestion is that you buy the book and perform the exercises through Chapter 7. If you like what you see, go to the Google site and purchase the NIK software Suite. At $150 it is a bargain.Lastly, this is an intense book. You will get more out of it by taking your time and performing the exercises. You will definitely want to read it more than once.
If you think you're interested in this book, read the preface before you place your order. It'll prepare you for what's in the book and help you make a decision.The book covers most Photoshop based methods for converting your digital color image to a black and white (or chromatic gray scale using the author's terminology). Along the way, Mr Versace offers lots of good advise about improving your digital photography in general and offers helpful tips that can be used to solve problems with your color images as well as your black and white images.The meat of the book is a series of lessons that demonstrate how to use each of the techniques covered in the book to convert a specific image from color to black and white. The instructions for each lesson are clear and take you step by step from the color image to the final black and white image. The lesson images are available for download from the book's website. Mr. Versace provides Photoshop actions that you can use to help with the lessons. I found that the best way to use the lessons was read the whole lesson to see what needs corrected, then carry out the lesson setting the sliders etc. at the values suggested by the book. Then study the image to see what I liked or disliked about the conversion. Then I would come back to the image a hour or day later and process it again but instead of setting the sliders at the numbers suggested by the book, I would watch the image and stop moving sliders when I got the look I wanted. Most of the time I found that I ended up with numbers very close to those suggested by the book. This technique proved especially useful when I got to the last two techniques covered by the book--one using multiple channel mixers and one using the Photoshop plug in called Silver Efex Pro 2. Both techniques are fairly involved and involve much more that picking a preset or moving a couple of sliders. They require careful study of the image and multiple corrections on several layers. And then the addition of layer masks to fine tune the image.Many of the techniques require layer masks and Mr. Versace offers some great advise on using layer masks and a way to end up with a perfect layer mask. He also explores some of the many blend modes offered by Photoshop.You really need to work all the lessons to get the most out of the book. If you do you'll find some useful tips that show how some not recommended black and white conversion techniques can be used to improve your color images.After you've worked through the book, I suggest you look at some of your images and see where the ideas presented in the book can be used to improve your images. I really suggest that you try one or both of the last two techniques to convert one of your images to black and white--preferably one that you've converted to black and white with your favorite technique. I did this with several images that I was pretty happy with and felt that the new conversion was always better than my old one. Sometimes the improvement was minor and sometime it was quite obvious. The improvement was enough that I ended up reprinting some of the images. Note thatWhy 4 stars and not 5? The quality of photo reproductions in the book is not up to the quality of the writing. The screen shots that show what's going on as you work with an image are too small and fuzzy to be of much use. Mr. Versace provides image maps to show what degree of masking is needed for some of the images. All of the image maps are small and a couple are unreadable. One thing that helps is that Mr. Versace provides 100ppi versions of the final conversions of some of the images so you can see what you should end up with.If you purchase the book, be sure to visit the book's website and view the videos and read the various pdfs. You'll learn a lot.Bottom line is that if you want to improve you image processing, you'll learn a lot with this book.
