ON1 Effects has a Black & White filter for wonderful monochrome conversions. It’s great. Yet there is also another black & white conversion method that’s often overlooked… the LUTs filter. ON1 includes a set of LUTs made just for black and white and they are great. The monochrome LUTs are worth exploring because they can give you a strong black & white conversion with just a click.
Conversion with the Black & White filter, plus some slider adjustments. It’s good, but not quite the look I am after.
Conversion with the LUT filter. One click and I have the crisp whites and deep blacks I want for this photo.
