Tip 3: Black & White Overlay
This is a great, quick trick for compositing that is perfect for those times
when simply closing the job is a priority. The effect applies a stylized
adjustment which tempers the colors in the image and increases contrast,
especially useful in stylized shots such as sports imagery. The effect of the
adjustment immediately makes the images more congruent, and this is
what compositing is about.
- Add a new Black & White adjustment layer above all layers you want to
affect, and set the adjustment layer’s blending mode to Overlay.
