RE: [Digital BW] Converting to BW

2002-08-11 by James Belec

The Imaging Factory has a 16bit plugin for PS which does a very nice
job. I originally used this filter for quick and dirty checks to see if
it was worth doing a full quadtone conversion. In some cases I've found
it does a better job. 30 day eval -- no restrictions in the trial
version.

Subject: [Digital BW] Converting to BW

All,

I've got a testy image that I need to convert to a BW for quad 
printing. Lots of trouble with the skin tones. (wedding shot) I read 
through the posts and got some good ideas. The most interesting seems 
to be converting the channels into layers via the Jeff Schewe method. 
How do I do this? Can anyone point me to more info, or describe the 
process. That is, convert the channels into layers? Is this possible 
in 16 bit mode? Thanks in advance.
