Digital BW, The Print

Mike,

What is so fascinating about Photoshop is the many different ways to 
accomplish the same or similar tasks. I experiment with both of your 
suggestions and the are very workable although I did need to work on 
a de-samples duplicate file, sample back up to the original 
resolution and copy the layer to the orignal file.

With your techniques and Carolyn's my tool box for something I 
thought impossible now contains several tools.

Thanks,

Martin Wesley
