Digital BW, The Print

Hi Don,

I have used Fred Miranda's actions (www.fredmiranda.com) for some time and
have been well satisfied with them. Lately I have been using PixelGenius'
PhotoKit (www.pixelgenius.com). I think I prefer the photokit since it
places each of its various functions in  separate layers so that if you
don't like the result you can trash it and try another. If you are more of a
do it yourselfer there are a number of workflows that can be used. You might
want to check out Russel Brown's website (www.russelbrown.com) for an
example.

I don't shoot medium format anymore but in 35mm I like Kodak Portra or Fuji
Superia.

Roger

  Subject: [Digital BW] Converting Color to B & W in Photoshop


  I am looking for advice on converting a color image to black and
  white in photoshop.  What are some of the differenct work flows used
  for this conversion?  Also I am open to suggestions for what film to
  use, I am shooting medium format and scanning with a Nikon 8000.  Any
  advice is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

  Don
