Lightroom II - Black & While Conversions

[Daron]

Hi all,

Just wondering has anyone achieved excellent black and white images whilst using lightroom II?

I've achieved good results in Photoshop, but would like to be able to stay completely within the Lightroom II workflow (not happy with the results that I've been getting to date).

Many thanks,

Daron.

Hi Daron,

Great to have you with us

As you know, I'm not a lightroom user, but I did just want to say Welcome to the CiC Forums!

I'm sure you won't hesitate to ask if we can be of assistance!

Welcome Daron, I've just started to use lightroom myself so I wont be much help to you at the moment. Good mate had a spare on his multi-license and gave it to me.

I've achieved some fairly decent black and white effects but I have afterwards exported the item and then edited it further in PS.

I'm using Lightroom 1.4 at the moment. Do you know if there is a big difference between this and 2?
