I'll try...

2002-09-01 by treadwinkle

As far as my workflow, well... thusfar all I do is convert to 
greyscale and export to Piezo where I select the paper and dpi.  I'm 
already feeling stupid because I'm guessing that is the most 
elementary way of doing this and there are a ton of other options... 
I suppose.  I just did what Piezo sofware suggested I do with some 
really excellent color files.  In fact, they are extremely well lit 
and frankly, really excellent files.

But to give you an example, one shot literally looks like a guy has 
stubble on his face because of the soft shadow on the actor's jaw 
line.  There is little to no skin tones.  In fact, where in the 
color file you see pores, in piezo print, it's just "white".

I'm very green at this, I admit.  And maybe my biggest problem is, I 
underestimate how much work this is going to take.  Where do I go 
from here?
