Hi Wang,
I already understood this, thanks for your correction. I also noticed a lot of mistakes in my English. Partly due to typing (to) fast and partly to not exactly know how to spell the words in English. So 8 years education in the English language with an 8 on exam, is also no garantee...
Friendly greetz,
Albert Jacobs

Hello Wang,
From you question I got the idea that you were not familiar with photoshop. That was a mistake.
I have just started with this since end of 2005.
Before that I used analogue photography.
I use a Nikon D100 that has a possibility to take shots direct in B&W. I've got no experience with that, but perhaps possibilities on your camera offer an acceptable solution. If not I am over asked. But maybe another digital photographer can give you more useful advice.
Interesting theme you put on the table. I like B&W myself and can agree with your experiences.
I know perfect translations from colour mode to B&W are possible with digital, because I watched some discussions about this. But till now I do not quite understand the thechnical actions that are needed to achieve such results. And btw your English is good enough to understand the mainline.
Have nice shots.
Friendly greetz,
Albert Jacobs

Correct a mistake for my last reply:
The color balance layer should below the saturation layer.
Sorry for that.

Hello Albert :
Thank you for relpy to me with your particularity!
My English is bad and I have to typy with a interpretation software.So there will be a lots of mistakes in my words.I owe you an apology for my bad English before of all.
Back to our subject,I can use the photoshop and I find if I simply turn back the saturation to zero
it will be a pale photo with bad texture.I am always looking for a applicable and convenient way to change the color to B&W.
Now I use the way below to change it.I set up a adjustable layer of the saturation above the original image and tune saturation to zero.after that I set up another adjustable layer of color balance above all.then change the value of layer color balance until the image looks like a film.
there are two points I really care about.Contrast and details.And they are the basic standard of adjusting photos to me.Whih the way above I can get a better image but not the best for me.To adjust a important photo , I will also adjust the
contrast and details in parts after the way be done above.And this is another complicated process.
So a applicable and convenient way is always be looking for .

Hi Wang,
The 2nd more retro image that I added is close to B&W, but just a few steps from that point.
Friendy greetz,
Albert Jacobs:)

Hello Wang,
Very nice composition. I prefer this one above the others. Simply because eye make up is gone.
The colours and composition are perfect. The expression also. Great work. Compliments !
I added one example in B&W, but prefer the colour version. When you have access to a program like photoshop it is quite easy to do.
You simply turn back the saturation to zero. Or what I sometimes prefer close to zero. In the last case a little colour touch remains and birngs - depending on the view - sometimes the suggestion of the '50's retro look.
I add this example also in my second reaction.
Friendly greetz,
Albert Jacobs  :)
