Hello Gents!
Been a long time reader of this forum and it helped me a lot in making the transition from film to digital and finding an interest in beauty retouching. Today I need your help. A specific type of black and white conversion technique keeps eluding me. It is soft and light yet contrasty and retains deep blacks and smooth transitions all the way from grey to black. I have a link to an example below, to me this is the kind of black and white that appeals to me but how do I achieve this? Thanks for your help!
