...It was inspiring to see Photoshop used thoughtfully by a master. I learned so much in just one day and am truly inspired to dig deeper and learn even more.

Dan “Dano” Steinhardt from Epson is joined by Josh Haftel from Nik Software and our very own Matt Kloskowski for a class filled with discussion and demonstration centered around the art of the black and white print. In this class you’ll learn about the key elements of a successful black and white photo and how to set up your digital workflow to take a photo captured in color through conversion to B&W in Nik’s Silver Efex Pro 2 right on to printing on an Epson R3000. This class will fill you with inspiration and arm you with the knowledge to create your own killer black and white prints!

    Very useful course. Best of all, I discovered several sliders in Siler Efex Pro that I didn't know existed before! Looking forward to putting the info I learnt from the course into practice.

    This is one of the best tutorials on black and white that I have ever viewed. Congrats to Dano and Josh for making black and white printing and working with HDR Silver Evex Pro 2 so much easier. I almost think that this one course is worth the price of signing up for Kelby Training. Thanks guys!

    I've always been afraid to print my own images - the paper types are overwhelming - but now, with this B&W class, I'm more confident. I only lack the R3000. ;~D

    I watched this course three times. It is absolutely excellent, especially if you have the 3000 printer. The bonus was the mini course in Silver Efx Pro 2. Two different but great guys who made a must see class. Thanks to both of them and you for posting another winner! ---- No, I'd keep it between us
