2) Black & White is an eurodance project from Italy, which was arranged and produced by Massimo Traversoni & Roberto Calzolari.
Singles: "Do You Know?" (1994)
3) Australian rock band:
When seminal Philip Island prog rock band The Format dissolved in 2003 under the mounting pressure of physical injuries and a constantly shifting line-up, vocalist Ant Lewis and drummer Steve Alexander weren’t prepared to return to earth just yet. With an advanced pedigree that had seen them support Sunk Loto, perform a stunning acoustic set live on Triple M and appear at the Pyramid Rock festival, the choice was clear: a new band, a new direction, and great hair.
Fast-forward five years later and they’ve finally returned – older, wiser, better dressed – as Black & White. Together with the live line up of guitarist Rohan Stevenson and drummer Shane Russel, what began as a tentative studio project has now blossomed into a world-class act that sharpens their powerfully accessible melodic blade with a sizzling electronic edge. With catchy, big, driving tunes, there is enough here to get anyone moving. Whether it be the irrepressible hooks of first single And Then Some, the breathless pace of I Still Care or the chugging riffage of Summer Sun, Black & White ironically polarise no-one.
With their debut album The New Republic slated for an early 2010 release, Black & White aren’t so much poised for success as unbuttoning their top-buttons and fast approaching it on the back of masterfully crafted modern songs that speak for themselves.
4) British rock band:
Black & White is a young four piece rock band from Epsom, Surrey, England. The band members are: Matt Lamb - Guitar & Vocals, Ed Price - Bass & back up vocals, Henry Bird- Guitar, and Guy Allison - Drums. Formed in the summer of 2006, Black & White write and perform their own orginal songs and their musical influances include many bands from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine to Mötley Crüe and Guns 'n' Roses.
Amazing
Black & White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So that we might live
And live a more abundant life
Living for Jesus
Everyone singing this evening
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Was blind, but now I see
The lyrics to "Amazing" by Black & White are centered around the themes of redemption, salvation, and the transformative power of faith. The song starts by acknowledging the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who died for humanity, allowing them to live a more abundant life. The mention of living for Jesus highlights the idea of dedicating oneself to a spiritual path and finding purpose and meaning through faith.
The chorus is a reimagining of the classic hymn, "Amazing Grace," and serves as a reminder of the tremendous grace and mercy that has been extended to the singer. The lyrics speak of being saved from a state of wretchedness and finding salvation. The lines "I once was lost, but now I'm found / Was blind, but now I see" allude to the transformative power of faith, which has brought clarity and a new perspective to the singer's life.

He died for us
He sacrificed his life on our behalf
So that we might live
In order for us to have life
And live a more abundant life
And experience a life of greater richness and fulfillment
Living for Jesus
Existing with the purpose of serving Jesus
Everyone singing this evening
All individuals in this gathering joining together in song
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
The astonishing grace, with an incredibly pleasing melody
That saved a wretch like me
That rescued someone as miserable as myself
I once was lost, but now I'm found
I was previously without direction, but now I have been discovered
Was blind, but now I see
I used to be unable to perceive, but now I have gained sight

Hi Mark, great editing techniques. Any suggestions on how to use calibration sliders for black & white? Since the tint slider is also present there i was wondering if it can be used to the same effect.
Thanks again. Ciao

I'll give this a try. I have a similar technique which begins with desaturated each color as you showed, but then I adjust the luminance sliders for each color to achieve the desired look. Your technique which adds changing the color temp and tint looks interesting...I'll work it into my next conversion!

How did it go? Did you try it? What were the results?

great channel Mark. Love your approach - fast and yet clear, you touch on what you're doing with enough detail to allow the learner to grasp what you are doing - all in the service of making great images / art.
See you're up in Scotland from time to time - I love Glencoe ('I'm from the west coast), tho living in Dundee, am appreciating the east coast light!
Keep up the great work!

I like the way you’re explaining this: focusing on subject’s details and our perceptions, not on tools👌
