Hi all,

Challenge #9 (Classic Lady) is now in the voting stage. When voting, please note that DPC Advanced Editing rules are not in effect for this challenge.

Challenge #10 is now accepting submissions through November 17th:

Thanks to

idnic for this shot! This time, we're going to all have a try at producing a B/W image that minimizes distraction and enhances the photo overall. A tutorial is linked in the challenge description. Who's got the B/W mojo?

All DPChallenge users are welcome to play along and/or vote! Please during voting, read the challenge rules in the descriptions, and vote accordingly given the rules and desired effects.

Today is the last day to vote in Challenge #8. I'll post the winning edit tomorrow.

Cheers,
-Jeff

Don't thank me - you do great work!

Though personally I think if mine had your sky, I'd have been a shoe-in! ;)

In case you can't get to the video tutorial linked in Challenge #10 description, here's a brief rundown:

The tutorial is just about creating two hue/saturation adjustment layers - the top one desaturates, while the lower one can control the levels of individual color hues. This way, you can control the desaturation process and vary it by color.

This is just one technique you can use when converting to B/W. Feel free to use others as well.

Cheers,
-Jeff
