Techni-X Filter

Techni-X is an Adobe Photoshop plugin that can create high contrast black and white effects.

Techni-X bleaches out most of the mid-tone greys, leaving crisp dark blacks and bright clean whites. It will produce clear B&W images with limited tones, which are suitable for cheap reproduction via the office photocopier or when published in newsprint, as these methods normally loose image definition when trying to reproduce standard colour photographs.

Although mainly designed for this "technical" purpose, you can also have fun by adding strong colour-casts within the plug-in! This is just one of the photography-related filters from the "Fotomatic" series by Cybia, so be sure to check out the others that are available.
