I love good contrast and deep blacks, but in this case the whites are somewhat blown out. Think I'd dial back the contrast and go for a less harsh effect. I haven't downloaded the image and tried it myself, so my advice may be fallacious...as it often is.

I've been playing around with some black and white conversions and this image from 2009 seemed to have sufficient contrast to make an effective conversion. I'm reasonably happy with the result but comments would be greatly appreciated: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1370864/PESO/slides/_IGP3091bw-peso.html Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A no graphics, no pop-ups email service -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
