Black and White conversion issues going from LR to PS

When I take a black and white image directly from Lightroom to Photoshop using "Edit in Photoshop", the black and white conversion doesn't stay true. My image, once opened in PS, is mostly black and white, but has green and magenta casts running throughout. Anyone know how to resolve this without just gray scaling the image again once in PS?
Screen grab from LR on the left, and PS on the right.
Thanks.

Well, it looks cyan to me. Here it is with saturation boost - assuming the OP made the screenshot correctly, assigning the display profile:
In any case, the Photoshop bug is well known and well documented, showing up as cyan shadow banding in ProPhoto files, when GPU is set to "Normal" or "Advanced" mode.
I'm not saying the display profile isn't involved, it most certainly is. The whole issue is the conversion into the display profile. And it also shows to varying degree with different display profiles - sometimes just subtle cyan bands, easily missed until you look for it, other times more pronounced and with secondary red banding (like here).
It also happens with sRGB as display profile. So the bug is real, no question about that.
What's different here is that there's cyan also in the highlights. But that could be the screenshot - or it could be "just" a bad display profile. I'm not ruling that out, just pointing out that there is a more likely explanation in this case.

Multiple Black and white conversion from raw or jpgs

Hi All
Any help would be appreciated.
I have 300 wedding images taken on raw and jpg. I now want to convert them all to black and white. Any way I can do this without doing it one at a time (whether using raw or jpg files)?
Hope someone has the answer or else I need to fork out £500 for CS4!!
Clive

Hi
Thanks for reply. I am able to open and convert from raw ok, what I don’t know if I can do is process multiple files that have been changed, i.e. to black and white?
I don’t think PE8 will actually do this.

Black and white conversion of tiff files in pse6

I like the "convert to black and white" utility in pse, but was disheartened to discover that it doesn't seem to work with tiff files. Also, the "adjust smart fix" and "auto red eye" options are not available with tiff files either. Is there a way around this?

Black and White conversion

Has anyone worked on finding greyscale conversion 'slider recipes' that give a similar look to various popular films. Would appreciate if you could share some of these.
Cheers
Kev.

onOne offers a set of 85 Lightroom Presets, which includes 10 black and white presets you might find worthwhile. You can download them for free at the bottom of the page in the following link:
http://www.ononesoftware.com/downloads/
If you have PhotoShop, you might also find their plug-in called PhotoTools helpful. It has three times as many presets (in the professional version), but does not work in Elements. Check out the video tutorials about using the library, using presets, and using the stack, along with the four real-world examples of how to apply the presets at the bottom of the list at this link:
http://www.ononesoftware.com/tutorials/tutorials_phototools.php
I currently have Elements6, and onOne's Plug-in Suite4. The fact that PhotoTools is not compatible with PE6 makes me want PhotoShop even more. Fact is, the only reason I haven't upgraded to that is I am waiting for CS Next before doing so.
There are also presets made available by other users... some free, some not, at the following link:

Hope you find the links useful.

Batch Black and White Conversions

Hi,
I've been trying to use the life and stamp tool to batch convert some images to black and white (using the monochrome mixer). Basically even trying to convert one image that way freezes my machine (powerbook 1.67 gH, 2 megs RAM) and I have to reboot.
Anybody have any suggestions....I guess this kind of batch conversion w. the lift and stamp tool must be very processor intensive? Even so....you'd think it could handle one! I did have some other adjustments on the image....filter, levels and sharpening.
Thanks a lot!
Lisa

Hello, lisa & scott
scott has some good advice for you except for one statement he made which is misleading and has been circulating around the mac internet news forums misleading readers and I would like a chance to squelch it once and for all:
Quote: "but really, this repair permissions action is starting to have a bit of "voodoo" status in OS X troubleshooting circles. i'm not sure that it will help with your slow-downs in Aperture though."
For the record, my recommendations are Apple text book troubleshooting regimens (Mac OS X Support Essentials, Owen Linzmayer, ©2006). I am an Apple Certified Pro Trainer, I help maintain the numerous mac computers in the classrooms where I teach. If this is voodoo, as scott is suggesting, then Apple has been totally wrong in recommending this systematic methodical troubleshooting regimen.
How do we answer any question in any forum as to why is this problem is happening to you? and not to others? or, maybe to others? There needs to be a starting base or instructions if the problem is not a known issue or if the problem cannot be verified on the systems on our end.
The recommendations I have made are painless, harmless and the least invasive. It will dump a lot of temporary files, font cache, get the OS X talking to it's respective files, directories, volumes, etc. it is the first step in finding out if the problem is
1. User-Related
2. Software-Related
3. OS-Related
4. Hardware-Related
Among other things some application problems can be OSX based and not the application itself. Repairing Disk Permissions in Safe Boot Mode is an excellent starting place.
As an example, many times when an application freezes or gets the spinning beachball, clicking on the Desktop and Repairing Permissions will clear the freeze and the beachball and quickly get you up and running again.
Besides this lisa, scott has given you some very good advice
Take care you two
love & peace,
victor

Very Disapointed in Black and White conversion in CS4

In CS3 it was great to have the hue/sat sliders right there and to be able to watch the image as I changed it.
The CS4 BW window is a MAJOR disappointment.
Now we have to click the color box and click again and again and keep clicking if we want to make minor changes.
No refinement here.
The way it was in CS3 you could slide left and right and watch the image change while you were sliding.
No need to add a hue and sat layer afterwards.
Can't believe they took this away.
HUGE disappointment in Adobe for having done this to us.

Raw Black and White (CR2 Cannon) process in color

I'm shooting black and white in raw/cr2 mode, and when I process them through Bridge / CS2, etc., they always come up color, not b&w. The same occurs with Picasa and other raw processing packages. Any ideas how to keep them B&W, rather than converting to it after processing?
thx!!

By its very nature RAW images are color because color is captured by the
sensor and raw is simply the raw data captured by the sensor. If you want
black and white from the camera then you would have to shoot JPG or TIFF if
your camera offers TIFF. Now the black and white marker should be included
in the RAW file so if your use the software that came with your camera then
it is very likely that software would see that marker indicating that you
had black and white turned on and simply convert the color RAW to black and
white and show you that. You might think that you are getting a black and
white RAW file but you aren't it is just the camera makers software seeing a
simple flag and then doing the black and white conversion. Since these flags
are generally proprietary Adobe doesn't read them.
In the end you are better off doing the conversion to black and white
yourself. There are many ways of doing it even in Adobe Camera RAW and you
will always get better results.

After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

How did you change it? Did you make your B&W on a separate layer? If so, just erase the part of the layer you don't want, or add a layer mask and paint with black over the parts you want to hide.
If not, then you can copy/paste the original photo (you will need to press ctrl+A/cmd+A to select all before you can copy) into the new image. From there it depends on the relative proportions of B&W. Arrange the two layers so the one with the most area that you want to keep is on top, and either mask out the rest or just erase it away.
For future reference, an easier way to do this when starting from scratch is to use the smart brush. Choose a black and white conversion style, turn on the inverse checkbox and paint over the part you want in color. The rest of the photo turns black and white, leaving what you paint over in the original colors.

Could you tell me how to configure my hp photosmart d110 to print in black and white only?

How to convert only part of a picture to black and white?

Hello. I just received PSE 8. I want to convert a photo of my daughter to b&w but I want to leave her eyes blue. Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks so much.

1. Find the smart brush tool (the brush with the gears on it)
2. Select a black and white conversion style in the options bar
3. Turn on Inverse
4. Drag over the eyes (they will stay blue and the rest of the photo will become b&w). If you turn Inverse off, the eyes will become b&w and the rest of the photo will stay in color

Why does my tv only show black and white

I see only black and white on my tv from my apple tv

Thank you,
I have set the unit to factory restore and the tv resolution to 480i. I have done a reboot. The tv is an old tube tv, and is set to factory resolution and cannot be changed, there is no settings to change the resolution/settings. The tv color is fine during the cable settings.
Thanks

Cant find settings for black and white prints using konica minolta bizhub 280 printer

I am having difficulty finding where to set our network Konica Minolta bizhub C280 printer to print black and white instead of colour from my macbook pro with OSX 10.8.2. I dont want to change the default printer settings, just change individual document print settings. Can anyone please assist me as to where and how to do this?

"How about under "Default Settings"? Is there a option for B&W printing?"
No there isn't.

Printing in black and white from an ipad on a deskjet 2540 without going through a router

My wife purchased a HP Deskjet 2540 all in one so that she can print directly from her ipad. She is going directly to the printer not through our router. It works great except that everything is printed in color? And unable to adjust the size such as fit to page etc.
How do we get it to print directly from the ipad in black and white and is there a way to set the size eg: Fit to page etc.???

You most likely need to download the HP app for your iPad to do the correct print settings to properly print - this might be the case here. If you still download and install the HP app and it doesn't work then there might be a limit to what your iPad can do for prints.
