    this was 2015, since Photoshop has updated the software, would that be the same procedure?

    Thanks for posting this. It really helped me get a better b+w conversion, versus using the standard adjustment layer.

    Do you have tutorials on photographing darker skin tones. In studio. I'm doing headshots on a friend, she has beautiful dark skin and I am so scared I won't do her justice, any tricks? I heard you bring the lights further away from subject. She is a realtor and we are doing waist up and headshots. We are doing family portraits next month.
