Shot with a Sony Alpha 7RV using a Zeiss Batis 2/25.

Processing included Joel’s excellent “sculpting with light” technique with reduced saturation as opposed to pure black-and-white.

The actual pixel have equal RGB values, so this is only a display issue and only occurs within Photoshop. My monitor is calibrated, and I have no color cast in Lightroom. I found I can remedy the issue by enabling the "desaturate monitor colors" option in the Color Settings menu, but I don't think this is a good fix. For reference, my other Color Settings are to use ProPhotoRGB and 16-bits, and this matches the external editing settings in Lightroom.

I have attached an image that shows the issue. I took a screenshot, saved it as a JPG, then maxed out the Vibrance and Saturation in Lightroom to emphasize the issue and make it clearly visible. Again, the same TIF file viewed in Lightroom has not visible color cast, so this is only a display issue with Photoshop, not a problem with either the file or my monitor calibration. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks,

Jeff

I would like to post to the Facebook site but posting is not available. I have joined and love the pictures but don´t seem to be able to post to the BW page any pictures of my own that have been processed using Artisan Pro. Can anyone help?

I'm considering buying an Artisan Pro X 2024.
 
Do you have any plans for a Black Friday sale for the panel?
 
Thanks!

An acquaintance speaks highly of using this as a step in workflow. Looking at online articles or YouTube videos the content most relevant is several years old. Is it an approach whose time has come and gone? Does it offer anything in 2024?

We also fixed the restore issues and ensured the panels just perform a bit better. Just navigate on the Creative Cloud Desktop App to Plugins > Manage Plugins and install the latest versions. They're respectively called Artisan Pro 2024 and Quick Mask Pro 2024 since they are now fully compatible with Adobe PS CC 2024. This implies that also the latest version of Adobe PS CC 2024 is recommended for installation.
