Black & White Enhancement 1
Purchase the Black & White Enhancement effect, or download the Free Evaluation script. This Art Script effect works best with a wide variety of images from portraits to landscapes. Through the manipulation of shadows and overall tone equalization, it produces an enhanced Black and White range that can't be achieved with the Desaturate filter.

By turning on, or turning off the visibility of the layers that are produced, will enhance the shadow areas. Simply by turning on the color layer will display an HDR like effect. Like our other scripts and actions, you vary the effect by changing the opacity of the different effect layers.
