If you shoot using your Canon’s Raw format then you can use DPP 4’s Monochrome picture style to experiment with black-and-white looks. This process mimics the photographic technique of placing colour filters over the lens when shooting with black-and-white film – a red filter, for example, will darken blue skies in the black-and-white image, causing lighter white clouds to stand out more in contrast. The secret to a successful monochrome conversion is manipulating the colours in the original image to create a greater variety of greyscale tones. Key elements in an image, such as a portrait subject’s clothing and their background, or a sky and the landscape below, may take on the same greyscale tones, causing them to lack impact and definition.
