Digital BW, The Print

Does anyone have a link to a site that gives the low-down on Fuji CA?

I mean...is there an article or something somewhere that promotes its
special qualities?

Perhaps a longevity statement or guarantee?

Sincerely Curious,

Steadman

  Bonita,

  it may be worth your while to also check shutterfly.com.  I have seen very
good
  prints (color) that a friend got and I can imagine they will do well in bw
too
  (within the limitations of using color materials for monochrome).

  Also, they are very clear about the materials and process they use: they
  expose Fuji Chrystal Archive in a Fuji Frontier machine. Chrystal Archive
is
  pretty much the current standard for archival stability in color.

  As for colorizing, since you are working in RGB already, it's a simple
matter of
  creating colorizing layers (Hue/Sat with "colorize" checked) and make a
mask
  that paints the effect on only the parts you need.

  I would pay attention to your color management settings, too. I didn't see
any
  info on profiles etc in ofoto, but shutterfly uses sRGB. Be careful that
you
  match what they need especially for bw prints.

  Have fun!

  Antonis
