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.
BlackRoom is Your Darkroom
1: Run the master conversion tool - 2: Apply a foundry mix or individual layer effects that instantly build into your edit. - 3: Tweak the intensity of your finished effect and save! Tip: Click on any tool category actions for a help popup of how that category is used to edit better.
MasterTool: It all starts with one action; Master Tool gives you an instant BW conversation, a Live-Tone-Map and puts everything in place for you to add as much or as little as you want with controllable layers and effects.
Foundry 1-Click actions: You can build your conversion by mixing tools, or use a Foundry actions to instantly add a series of tools intelligently. After, tweak them how you you like. From tones to grains to filters like Green and Red.
Edit Natively: No need to open a plugin or second app. When you use BlackRoom actions you're creating layers that are intelligently placed and blended allowing you to make every silver conversion fast and 100% YOU!
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.
