how to achieve this BLACKS/GREYS??
do anybody know how to achieve this desaturated black tones? thank you https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/33989077 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 7#35221295 Aug 11 14 05:11 pm Link The answers are very similar to those in the other thread. Try lifting the blacks using a levels adjustment layer. Or raise the bottom end of a curves adjustment layer. Aug 11 14 05:14 pm Link As mentioned above, Go to Curves and drag bottom left point up -or Levels and drag the bottom left slider to the right. Another option is Selective color, choose black and drag the bottom color "black" to the left. Aug 11 14 07:50 pm Link And a lot of highlight recovery.

Aug 13 14 04:59 pm Link Check the histogram.  Aug 14 14 03:42 am Link If you increase the offset in the exposure settings you could get that affect. I personally also like to increase the gamma too in-order to restore some contrast. Aug 15 14 06:44 pm Link Gradient map using white to "almost" black. Select darkness of the grey and opacity of the adjustment layer for how extreme you want the effect. Aug 15 14 06:53 pm Link There are probably a few ways to get this but I'd say under expose by a stop and try opening the shadows in curves....

You will have a lot more flexibility with highlights, shaddows, contrast and recovery with a RAW file than if you are working off of a JPEG. If your working with just a JPEG then I would use layer masks to deepen the black and a deprecate on to target highlights. There are a number of tutorials on here and on YouTube.
