Stan, that's a great compliment, thanks. Speaking of B&W conversion, I'm sure you've already found lots of great stuff in internet, the site I liked the most is this one: http://www.digital-monochrome.com/LEARNING.html I found the article "Channel mixer settings to imitate film reproduction" interesting, not really sure how real this settings are compared to film, but I use them as starting point, for example for this PESO, I started with the "tri-x" settings and went from there. Also enjoyed some of Petteri Sulonen's tutorials and some of Northlight Images articles on the topic. Not really related to this particular image but ironically what really got me thinking on B&W conversion was a B&W film book that deals mostly with B&W examples on how to use dodge&burn techniques, which in the end can also be done on PS. The book was "Mastering Black & White Photography : A Unique Case Study Approach to Achieving Professional Results" by John Garrett -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
