I have been messing around a bit with Photoshop CS4, trying some B&W conversions and other things. I really admire the work of Alan Young. Some of his work from China is just incredible. So on his website he posted a few tutorials or rather “Trade Secrets” so I thought I would try a few of them out. I won’t go into details regarding the process, as you can check it out on his website and download the PDF’s that explain everything. Basically I used Photomatix Pro 3 to create a pseudo-HDR image and then did some curves adjustments and B&W conversion. Here are a few that I processed using this method (with a few modifications). They are no where near as impressive as some of Mr. Young’s work but I do enjoy playing around with different techniques. Hope you enjoy these.
