The latter is, to me, what makes a good photo great! Texture is what adds that substance to the viewer’s enjoyment of the shot, and the tonality is what gives that image the punch it needs to push the subject out from the rest of the stuff within the frame. Context is by far most important, as your photograph needs to mean something or tell a story. Modern digital black and white photography isn’t just about desaturating your colourful original image file – a good black and white photo is a combination of context, texture and tonality. So it comes as no surprise that I pay extra attention when it comes to digital black and white conversion. I am a big, big fan of black and white photography, in both digital and traditional film, especially for my street and travel photography work. Is it worth a place in his workflow? Find out in his full Tonality Pro review… The issue has NEVER been Mac vs PC.Jimmy Cheng investigates a serious black and white plugin for serious photographers. Really guys I'm just trying to shed light on the subject.I promise. This ONLY becomes a PC plug-in version verses a Mac plug-in version IF AND ONLY IF one is improperly and illegally and foolishly dragging plug-ins about without first doing a proper install. Heavens knows those of us that have had to keep up with the "WUP" have had a world of frustrations when it comes to installs. I made the original reference to the Waves Shell in hopes those that may indeed have Waves install problems in the future might have some fuel for solutions. The install process (when done from a proper DVD or CD "proper" being the operative word here) will not only A) install the Waves Shell but B) guide you through the proper choices for the correct version install. The problem here is the plug-ins in this discussion are not purchased and I've done my very best to be informative without being accusatory When you buy (and the operative word here is buy) any Waves plug-in or bundle you DO NOT buy a Mac version verses a PC version. Yikes.this has become far more convoluted than it needs to be A questionable plug-in that's been dragged into the folder WITHOUT properly being installed can bring Pro Tools to it's knees. Although sometimes "dragging" a plug-in into the plug-in folder actually is all that's required often it is NOT. PS: For all other plug-ins in the future. YMMV but I've never regretting shaking that company. I determined years ago that the Waves WUP program/installation and protection problems and over all pain in the ass wasn't worth moving ahead with those plugs in the future. That and be prepared for being slapped with a upgrade cost. You'll need to wrestle with the WAVES boys to determine what version of the plug-ins/Shell you need to run on your version of Pro Tools. The installation process on a new computer must include the Shell or the plug-in aren't going to run. Probably safe to say it holds key elements needed for protecting from piracy like the digital ID number of the computer you've installed it on.Īlways "install" plug-ins from the original installation folder. I never took the time to fully understand what was happening when "The Shell" got installed but I do know a Shell MUST be installed. Waves plug-ins work off of a protection scheme that starts with what they call "The Shell". I'll assume this is still the case although I abandon Waves plug-ins years ago.
