Step 5: Tweak the settings

---

Now we'll tweak each individual color to achieve the best results. In the Black & White adjustment window, there are six adjustable color settings (red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta). You can adjust the brightness of each individual color by sliding the input slider for the corresponding color. For my photo, the skin was overexposed so I reduced the reds slightly (from 110% to 77%) so that the curves of the face are visible without losing the harsh lighting effect.
