Playing more with the Greg Gorman method for converting pics.

I prefer the first conversion, but in both the colour border really distracts.

.....if you shot this in raw try the raw converter sliders to convert to B&W.....

I prefer the first one, but they both feel as if they're lacking depth, honestly.
I think you might need some curves work there... what steps did you use to get them to black and white?

#1 is my preference Willy (good), but the coloured borders have to go - they are a problem.

Leigh - he used the Greg Gorman method, which I think uses LAB colour and the lightness channel for the conversion
