In this lesson, I work with an image that was submitted by a Masters Academy member. The request was to make an acceptable black and white conversion of the image. In the process, you'll learn when I substitute Highlights/Shadows for Curves and a bunch of masking and adjustment layer tricks. I think you'll learn from this video even if you never plan to convert an image to B&W.
NOTE: Some Windows users have reported issues accessing the video playback controls. While we're working on the issue, here's a Temporary Workaround: Click "Introduction" in the table of contents to the right of the video and then immediately click within the video to give it focus. After doing so, use the spacebar to play/pause the video and the left/right arrow keys to scrub forward or backward within the video.
