There are some good submissions here!

Last day to get yours in.

Hey Vince .. yours doesn't look like pure b&w -- looks like split toning -- you may want to resubmit.

This is weird. I can see the picture in my first post at work (PC) but can't see the picture from home (mac). Must be in the cache on work PC.

Hrm... thanks, not sure how to fix it though. I greyscaled it in LR, is there something else I should do? I thought greyscaling gets rid of all the color information.

I'll try to desaturate it later tonight and see if that makes a difference.

Yeah, split-toning saturation sliders should be 0 in LR. That should do it.

Strange. Lightroom was at -100 for saturation, 0 showed the red color of the truck. Brought it into PS and desaturated it so it's really B+W now. I see that it did have a greenish tinge in the previous upload.

Thanks for highlighting the problem and helping with the fix.

Np Vince. Remember LR has a Basic saturation slider which you set to -100 and there are two saturation sliders that you set to 0 under the Split toning tab. Good luck with the challenge.
