About B&W Artisan Pro X - a Method-driven panel
Artisan Pro X is unique in its kind as it is a 'method driven' panel, not a feature-driven panel. The designer of the panel, award-winning photographer Joel Tjintjelaar, has built the panel in such a way, that it's built around his proven method and the important principles of good B&W photography and encourages the user to learn those principles together while learning to use the panel. Therefore the Artisan Pro tutorials are necessarily longer to give you insight into all the important aspects and principles of B&W photography. Nevertheless, you can also use the panel for its advanced features only.
