What issues do you have with this workflow? Marco pulled this out of a 
Garman photo mag. It was a little hard for me to follow (even after he sent 
me a copy of the mag) but I got it down after a few tries.

The main look and feel to the lith is that the mid-tones are squashed. 
Feathery heighlights and deep blacks with one mid-tone. That's the idea 
behind spliting the image and creating the highlights in one half and 
shadows in the other.

Sorry, most of the images on my site are from doing it the "Real" way. ;-)
