Hi,

When converting to black and white I use silver efex pro 2 in photoshop cs5.1.

When I am trying to convert a picture with some blown-out sections (these sections don't always detract from the image so I am quite happy for them to stay there) I get a very odd texture appearing on them when using the structure and brightness sliders in silver efex.

Sample picture:
33y6rsy.jpg


i would like to know how I can avoid this texturing from appearing when converting to black and white.

If anyone can offer some suggestions that would be fantastic,

Asa

Just to add: This doesn't happen when editing RAW files but does with JPEG and TIFF

That is what I am doing at the moment. I am just curious as to why this is happening and if there is a fix if for some reason I do need to use JPEG.

its down to compression Plus you need to get it right in the raw first off,

whats your workflow for raw and output to jpg
 
It looks like silver effx can't cope with the blown areas, can you post the colour original so someone else can do a conversion and see if it's a fault on your SE or a common issue.
 
Here is the JPEG which is causing me problems, Wayne:

Thanks.

EDIT: The easiest way to test whether it happens on other SE is to put the structure slider to the right and then the brightness slider to the left.

What settings did you use in SE? a default option or your own preset?
 
It wasn't a preset. If you leave it to the defaut preset and then just move the structure slider to the right and the brightness slider to the left that produces the texture.
