I have been getting some interest in one of my images on the Black and White Photography Learning Forum with regard to converting HDR images into mono.
Im not a great lover of the HDR process, but I thought that taking out the vivid colours may help. Here are a few with different processes applied.
They all originate from the same images and have had different amounts of editing, but the effects can be seen, love it or hate it!
This is a standard mono conversion using lightroom and Silver Effex Pro.
This one has been produced by the merge to HDR export to Photoshop from Lightroom, then converted in Silver Efex Pro 2
This final one has been exported from lightroom into HDR Efex 2. One of the recipies within that software produces a mono HDR. This was tweaked a little to liven it up. No other Mono conversion was used.
