You still need a sensible folder structure for saving photos.
That’s one of the reasons why Adobe created Lightroom Classic and why it’s become so popular. It’s up to the photographer to organize his photos by using a well thought out folder structure. One of Photoshop’s weaknesses it that it doesn’t have any tools for organizing your photos (although Adobe Bridge helps). It was the number one option and most of the other applications we can use now didn’t exist then. Most photographers used Photoshop to develop their black and white photo photos. You can use Lightroom Classic to organize your black and white photos as well as develop themĬast your mind back to the days before Lightroom Classic. Now let’s look at some of the reasons why Lightroom Classic is so good for black and white photography. Next month I’m going to publish a follow up tutorial that looks at the best alternatives for black and white photographers. If you’re not a Lightroom Classic user then I haven’t forgotten you. Or Lightroom 6 if you haven’t upgraded to Lightroom Classic yet, the reasons still apply. Then use other applications and plugins to supplement that.Īnd the application that I recommend you use to develop your black and white photos? That’s easy – Lightroom Classic. Learn one application in depth so you understand its strengths and weaknesses. My conclusion is this – that the best approach is to keep things simple. That’s partly because it’s my job (I write about them) and partly because of curiosity. I’ve used many applications for black and white photography. Could your photos be missing some kind of edge gained by using an application or plugin you don’t have? What do the pros know that you don’t? Then there’s the fear of missing out factor. With so many companies competing for your attention it can be hard to know which application to use to develop your black and white photos. The list of applications you could use to develop your black and white photos seems to get longer every year. Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Silver Efex Pro, Luminar, Exposure, DxO FilmPack, ON1 Photo Raw.
