This article introduces the “Monochrome controller” which is installed only in the professional edition after Pro8. If you want to make monochrome images from color image, we hope you use the Monochrome controller in SILKYPIX.<\/p>\n

Eight types “Color filters” can be selected to reproduce the filter work on the preview.\u00a0In addition, you can adjust the “lightness” for each hue, and you can finish your monochrome image.<\/p>\n

You can easily switch between color and monochrome after the application of the parameters in the preview, so it is good way to learn the effect of color change on monochrome image.\u00a0The “Monochrome controller” parameter has three checks: Color filter, Lightness, and Develop as monochrome.<\/p>\n

You can select each Color filter from the color filter drop-down list.\u00a0Color filter has the property that subjects of the same color as the color of the color filter to be used become lighter and their complementary colors become darker.<\/p>\n

For example, a red color filter lightens red in the image and darkens complementary blue.<\/p>\n

The Monochrome controller allows you to select a color filter for each your image.\u00a0You can also fine-tune the color by Hue or Depth after determining the Color filter.<\/p>\n

After applying the Color filter, you can apply the Color filter to a color image by deselecting the “Develop as monochrome” check box. If unchecked, the Color filter and lightness effects can be applied to color images.<\/p>\n

Lightness can be adjusted for each color in the Monochrome controller.<\/p>\n

Selecting the yellow filter makes yellow flowers became white.\u00a0And, I used “Lightness” to make adjustments for each color. This example is darkening the green.<\/p>\n

Let’s use the Monochrome controller in SILKYPIX!<\/h2>\n

Let’s finish the monochrome work!\u00a0Please download the sample RAW data and try it out too!<\/p>\n

Check the Exposure, White Balance, and Tone, and correct if necessary.\u00a0I want to correct this image because the original image is dark and the horizontal is slightly tilted.<\/p>\n
