PS for Winter City building with black and white effect

In the winter city, only the towering glass construction and the bright white sky, want to let this kind of scenery become more temperament? Let's treat it as monochrome. Now let's study together.

Look at the effect chart first.

What photos are more suitable for black and white photos

We will choose the color is too complex, or the exposure of inaccurate photos processed into black and white, in addition, you can also choose the high speed to form a larger image of noise.

1, with the HDR filter to enhance the black and white effect

First, I used Photoshop's HDR plugin "Redynamix". You can select the "filter" preset black and white effects directly in the plugin. Due to the sky exposure, the details of the future is very rich,

So I choose "Black and white Dark light", because it is visual operation, you can choose different filters according to their own works.

2, make the details more natural

Next, we go back to the main operating interface of the plugin and modify its details in the adjustment bar on the left. Here, I've raised the "radial" values to make buildings and backgrounds look more solid;

Increase the "surface smooth" value, reduce the screen noise; Finally, click "Fine" to get a finer picture.

3, for the screen to increase the blue

The Black-and-White city is not so brilliant in our picture, so we want to add a uniform color to it; because the screen is glass building, in order to fit the texture characteristics of the glass, we deliberately chose the gray-blue;

You can create a new layer, fill in this color, select "Soft light" and modify its opacity.

4. Keep your city quiet.

When we add gray blue, the screen appears a bit dirty, this time the best way is to reduce the saturation of the picture. We turn on "adjusting the natural saturation" to reduce the "natural saturation" value;

Let us again look at the image, choose the best performance of the Glass city of the greatest effect!

How HDR can reduce noise

We suggest that you do HDR before, the image to reduce noise first. In the noise reduction, you can use Nikon's PS filter to make the image of exquisite noise reduction. After the noise reduction, the screen is sharpened (can be used to sharpen the filter),

So that the outline of the structure of the picture, texture appears more clear, have texture.

Final effect!
