mason jars collage for flash of red february

so I did this collage to show the different edits in LR converting to black and white. the first is the original color image. the second is the black and white conversion in the basic panel. the third is a preset I downloaded for free from on1 and the last is my own edit from scratch. I could do brush edits on any of the three to change contrast but I find on a simple picture like this it is just as easy to start from scratch!

hum, nice demo, fine distinctions, well done, go for scratch.

Neat to see the different tones if b&w! :-)

@365projectltaylor @amandal @cheekylulu @tommykeith ball jars are charming! I do like my edit the most. I have learned a lot from presets along the way though...especially split toning...I like to watch the colors used to change the image look!
