>>2967529Well, in your raw editor, you can probably see a black and white image while you adjust RGB curves or sliders.
I'm generally against using a manufacturer's preset because I can do it instantly with a hot key in post.
You've done alright. The dark wall is mucking up your separation behind the doggo's head (which you could probably help by adjusting the color channels in post, if you shot raw and did the B&W treatment in post).
You're catching a ton of shit because these are snapshots of a pet, and it's hard to say anything about the quality of your technical decisions when you're just taking random shots.
If you want objective test images, shoot a color chart next to a bowl of fruit. Otherwise, go out and shoot some real photos.
