Joe Farace is an award-winning photographer with more than 30 books and 1,600 articles to his credit. So there's no one better to take monochrome into the digital age. Whether shooting digital black and white from a camera or converting colour photographs to monochrome on the computer, photographers will discover an array of unique, innovative and inspirational techniques suitable for any level. Farace explains what kinds of software programs are best and how to use them to manipulate photographs in diverse ways. He also discusses various in-camera effects and the detailed information and instruction cover everything from creating traditional looking black-and-white or sepia images, to adding colour selectively for a one-of-a-kind, fine-art approach.

Excellent tips and pointers but like so many books now on photography strongly biased towards photoshop.

Nothing more than a catalogue of commercial plug-ins. As for information concerning these plug-ins, the websites for the plug-ins are much more informative than the book. The one star is offered for the quality of the paper used in the book. Unfortunately, the paper could have been put to much better use.

Plug in manual

I looked through this book quickly at a local bookstore and it had a lot of really nice looking photos inside, that I thought would be inspiring for my own imagination. I bought it,...mistake. Like the other reviews mentioned, once you get inside this book, it is all about using plug-ins. Very disappointing. I did enjoy the photos, and they do make you think, but it is definitely short on any real value to show you how to create your own.

This is a great guide book for folks who want to know about the various "shades" of B&W. Really great explanations and images of many different approaches to B&W beyond simply desaturating an image. Many of the techniques included mimic the old darkroom techniques that were seeming lost when we went digital.
Included are reference to actions and plug-ins (both free and $$) that can help you create effects that make your photos come to life without sloshing thru a variety of chemicals in a small dark room.
Striking images is right on.

A guide to plug-ins and actions

I borrowed this book from my public library before purchasing and boy am I glad I did. The book and its pictures look great at first glance but once you get into it you see it's all about using various Photoshop plug-ins and actions that the author happily tells you were to find them. If you are looking to create some dramatic effects on your own from scratch I would suggest you look elsewhere. But if plugins are your game still look elsewhere, there are tons of websites that provide just as much if not more information for free.
Then of course there is always your local public library.
