This allows you to go back into Adobe RAW editor at any time. Keep it as the first layer. PS does not save files as raw files: only as .tif, .psd, etc... But having that layer as a smart layer allows you to open that .tif file and then go back into that smart object and change the raw editing. As for BW, I do it in PS and use luminosity layers, curve layers and level layers to play around with it after using a smart filter layer in PS to adjust filter effects. Final act is to use NIK software, but usually after I've edited with tons of layers in CC15, it doesn't provide a whole lot extra. I also play a bit around with DxO files for different film types. Works well. Hope this helps, Bob On Mon, Mar 7, 2016 at 7:17 AM, Frank Filippone <red735i at verizon.net> wrote: > When you wish to change from Color to B+W, from RAW files, what SW do you > use? > > > > LR and PS of course will do this.. what about other tools? > > Did you find tools that really do not work well/easily? > > > > If you happen to know, in what format is the final edited image saved? > JPG? > RAW with Sidecar file? > > > > Can the saved file be imported into LR or PS and then worked on > additionally? > > > > Frank Filippone > > Red735i at verizon.net > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > -- Best, Bob Bob Adler www.robertadlerphotography.com
