Create stunning black-and-white images in seconds

Use your gift to create classic mono finishes and toning effects for any image in Photoshop

- Jon Adams Jon is a profession­al photograph­er and writer. He also provides one-to-one and smallgroup tuition in both digital SLR and Photoshop image-editing skills.

This issue’s big black-and-white feature (page 58) will inspire you to experiment with some creative ideas – but if you’re new to mono photograph­y, knowing where to start can be daunting. To flatten the learning curve and make great tonal results as quickly as possible, our Mono FX Kit brings all the basic ingredient­s together into a one-click Photoshop kit.

Simply load up any colour image, then click through the layers stack in the FX Kit, converting to mono, adding contrast, using classic toning recipes, and finishing off with a vignette and a presentati­on border. What’s more, the kit allows you to produce files sized exactly to A4 or A3 paper, so you’re all set to make a print once you’ve created your new-look mono image.
