    ‘How I Did It’™ with Rad Drew ‘Sculpting Light with Dramatic Black and White”

    2019-04-29 / Comments Off on ‘How I Did It’™ with Rad Drew ‘Sculpting Light with Dramatic Black and White”

    Hello, to TheAppWhisperer Community! Thank you for allowing me to share another How I Did It!™ video, this one on the favorite app, Dramatic Black and White. Dramatic Black and White, by Jixi Pix Software, runs on both iPhone and Android, and transforms color images into Black and White with tools that manage the tone, softness, brightness, and contrast of the image. It’s great for architecture as well as portraits and landscapes, and provides creatives with a great deal of control in determining the final look of the image. (For information on other apps for creating Black and White images, see my blog post, Creating Black and White Images with…
