Best Free B/W Photo Action??
 

I'm recoloring this photo that I snapped of my SIL at her wedding - I am planning to send it to her framed for Christmas - any favorite B/W actions to reccomend?? (preferably free)

If you want free, I love Pioneer Woman's set:

yep, I use Pioneer Woman's BW Beauty all the time.

Love PW's black and white beauty, too.

I was going to also suggest Pioneer Woman's B&W actions in her "Set 1". Depending on the look you're going for, there are two different ones in that set. PW's BW is nice and contrast-y with a dark edge, BW Beauty is a little less dark. Love them both and use them all the time.

This is another free one that I really love: MCP Take Action on Cancer Awareness. It's a B&W action with 14 optional color overlays. Even if you just use it for the B&W it's great because it gives you more control & allows you to adjust the levels and tweak the photo a bit more than Pioneer Woman's actions do.

LOL - I'll make it unanimous so far - I use both of PW's mentoined above :thumbup:

I find that with b/w I need to tweak a lot for every photo anyway. So I'd pick some, that you can adapt easily. My4hens actions usually allow a lot of tweaking.

Another vote for PW's B&W Beauty. I love it, and used it all the time before I bought some of Sarah's.

this is my favorite...
Rob Carr's Black & White Action


and here is an example...

Oooh, that's nice. Gotta grab that one!

My 4 hens also has a great black and white action which I really like and that comes with the freebie set "My Four Freebies."

It's called Black N Whitish, is very rich, and I found it to be perfect for those special occasion photos.

I don't have an actual photo ready, but this layout is a pretty good sample:

Love the ones that have been mentioned so far! I'm also a huge fan of Coffee Shop Creamy Chocolate B&W.

Oh! I forgot about coffee shoppe and my4hens freebies! I can't seem to find the 4 freebies on the m4hens site - anyone know where to look??
