Greenfilter and Photoshop? Greenfilters are yesterdays news. Nothing relevant for digital photography. Right? Well, besides that it can make skintones for black and white nicer and give some structure to images of green woods, I discovered a nice effect when I made a very graphical style photo by editing a greenfiltered image in Photoshop.

Shoot something green with a greenfilter on. It’s good to get light son your subject, since it probably have some red light in it.

In Photoshop make a Adjustment Layer with Channel Mixer, make Monochrome and build a black and white conversion using mainly the red channel (red channel almost 100, blue and green almost 0). Most things in the image will be black, except where the light is.
