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.

I started photography in 1997 at age 12. I'm a PPA Master, Hot One and Loan Collection winner and Lightroom expert. My images, tools and workshops have been featured in books and throughout the industry.
 

I was born in WA USA. I started working pro (using that word loosely as I sucked) using film at age 16. It was not easy to find training then and often I beat my head against the wall to win. 20+ years in the trenches earned me my Masters (M.Photog) from PPA but it taught me that's just the start.


I moved to Mexico in 2017, exploring the magical light of the South, creating tools and workshops as well as the Pro Photo Podcast. There's lots of videos and free things here. If you have questions I'm here to help

You're rightly skeptical of photography tools in today's market. That's why all sales are NOT FINAL here. I guarantee each tool and workshop with my 31 day No-Regrets Guarantee! --
