Use BlackRoom actions to create black and white with infinite flexibility!
Works in Photoshop CS6-CC || Mac or Windows, En
The times demand a new approach to create your vision in black and white. Competing with companies that have big backing sometimes makes me worry people will see my black and white tools as basic. The opposite is true! These are actions, but they make the most complex edits easy.
I created Black-Room to better use the hidden magic inside PS. It automates infinite possibilities by giving you control and light blending and lets make you create better black and white, no matter your experience level. Guaranteed!
Will BlackRoom work standalone or in PS Elements?
No, Blackroom is designed to use all the power off the full version of Photoshop. This level of deep edits cannot be achieved in Elements. BlackRoom will however work on CS6 legacy version of Photoshop if you don't have a current subscription.
Why use BlackRoom over a Silver plugin?
In short, BlackRoom can use all the power of Photoshop. It's not just an app that runs within Photoshop and then created a merged layer on your file. The problem with plugins is they give you most of the same controls you already have in you Raw editor like LR. We find using presets and the native tools on LR or C1 are better for quick edits and RAW files because there's no need to run an app within an app that does the same thing. But BlackRoom allows us to go beyond both with more advanced controllable edits made simple.
Should I use Silver 4 presets or BlackRoom?
For most the answer is both. Our Silver 4 collection for LR, Camera RAW and C1 is super powerful and refine. It allows fast one-click conversion and quick mods directly on your original file and those looks' can be edited fast and copied to batches of images. Silver 4 is for workflow. When you want to do more to your best images, open in PS with color channels in place and use BlackRoom to take it to the next level.
What does the Live Zone Map do and Lumist?
The live maps comes from our legendary Lumist action system which allows you to select and edit Zones instantly. The visual map in BlackRoom is the same and gives you real time feedback and shows you all the Zones from black to white so you can better understand your photo. But if you also Have Lumist, it integrates perfectly and you can select and mask Zones on any layer.

Silver-Map | Choose your tone and intensity with a click!
BlackRoom uses a late stage gradient-map to make complex conversions easy. That means easier integration than plugin and more power than presets. It also shows you every tone with the Live-Map. So optionally if you have the Lumist sstem, you can select and edit specific tones with Zone level detail and not lose any of your layers or edits.
In the final layer does BlackRoom intelligently converts to silver in real time. With the Silver-Map You can change how final conversion interprets the tone, apply, high key key, low key, or Zone mods. - Want less or more? Adjust individual layers or change the intensity of everything you built with ONE-CLICK. All non-destructive and perfect every time.
