High Contrast Black and White

So one of my newer editing ways for black and white conversion deals with the channel mixer. Now using the channel mixer isn't a "new" way of doing black and white conversions by any means digitally but this is one of my favorite ways of doing the black and white conversions. With the channel mixer in monochrome and the RGB channels in their respective place shown in the screen shots. I like these particular numbers for this method for the higher contrast.


I do dodging and burning still like with all my other photographs.Which is why in the bird image there is the other layer as well. This stylized black and white I do use when there is a good amount of green, sometimes blues, but the numbers do change for the channels. Just move to taste really.

I guess this is less of a tutorial and more of a reference for the editing technique? So I guess there will be the infrared reference soon!
