Thanks fellas ... I am having to empty a dozen or so SD cards to take them to Austria and finding hundreds a of images from last year and the year before sometimes... it is something  I hate doing ... editing and binning anything  not worth keeping ... I’m becoming a bit of a hoarder the older I get methinks . This is from a few hundred I took whilst walking around Upton on Severn last Summer  having driven there in a bloody huge Volvo whilst waiting  for my Mazda to be serviced .

Yes I have tried  the two black and white in camera options John .... I don’t think I have them uploaded to my pc yet so I will check on that ...and  should try some more ... good idea . We can compare notes then eh ?

Out of interest and for what it’s worth ... I tend to process in colour  first ...and use the neutral density filter  in the colour pro Fx  option before I  start on a mono conversion ... but I will try out the in camera option more ... There are so many combinations of settings with the X-T2 and X-T3   That I still haven’t tried them all  yet ...     Such a big thief of time thisphotography hobby ... I could use twice the hours in a day .....

Another nicely composed and processed mono. Interesting that you use Nik Color Efex first, I just normally go straight to Nik Silver Efex and use one of the several presets I've made, sometimes I tweak them or add control points. My camera also has a few mono settings, that I think I've maybe used once.

It comes originally from scanning original sepia and black and white photos for digital restoration work that I do. I always scanned using colour mode as I found it resulted in a greater number of tones  that the black and white scanner  didn’t always differentiate from when it scanned in black and white mode . Most restorers scan in colour regardlessnof whether the photo was colour or monotone ...

I hope that you will allow me to join this mono processing discussion?

For what it’s worth, I always shoot RAW in colour, then use Photoshop to first, adjust contrast, saturation and tones, and then selectively sharpen to suit a coloured result.

Just prior to sharpening, I convert a copy to mono; the RAW file giving me complete control of which targeted tones I increased or reduced for best effect, a final targeted sharpen and I’m done....original file kept, Processd versions saved as psd s .... with copies intended for emailing of posted on forums saved as 300 dpi 2000 px longest side JPEGs.

Whilst  on a shoot I try now to not to take too many, because post processing takes valuable time.

Shooting with the ...in-camera mono mode, doesn’t appeal, because most of the best photographers in the past used a Darkroom, to dodge and burn etc post shooting....Ansell Adams being the Master.

Thanks Fooj ... you certainly don’t have to ask to join in here ... I always value your input whatever you decide to talk about ... experience is something that runs parallel with age ... it a only really appears to meet on the horizon a long distance away ..   Don’t we all wish we knew what we know now; 30-40 years ago eh? ☺️
