Goettingen, April 11, 2024 | The German photography company Neurapix has released a new feature: SmartPresets can now be created and used in black and white (B/W) for AI-assisted image editing.
This provides photographers the opportunity to offer their clients complete shoots in their own distinct black and white style.

The application of a B/W SmartPreset works just like with a colored SmartPreset: After clicking “Edit Images” in the Lightroom menu, the B/W style is simply selected and used as an independent SmartPreset as usual. If a photographer initially edits a shoot in color, they can easily reprocess it with a B/W SmartPreset afterward (potentially based on virtual copies).
Creating a B/W SmartPreset is straightforward. When creating a traditional color SmartPreset (with at least 500 images), a B/W style is automatically generated if at least 20 fully edited B/W images are included. If you want to create a B/W SmartPreset specifically, you can use the “Kickstart” option to craft your own look within minutes. You only need to edit 20 sample images. As usual, photographers can create as many custom B/W SmartPresets as they like for free.
