Digital BW, The Print

Steven,

I followed the advice at this URL:
http://www.rogercavanagh.com/helpinfo/20_acrpatchmac.htm

And created a patched version of the plug-in. It really is a very simple
procedure and works like a champ.

I have read some admonitions that since the plug-in uses the D60 profiles
you may not be getting accurate color, but I really can¹t imagine how it
could be much different.

I really like the capabilities of Camera Raw and get quite a bit of
additional control in my workflow.

I was finding that the 10D has a tendency to underexpose by about 1/2 a stop
in matrix mode. While I am trying to deal with this with more careful
metering and getting to know the camera, when a dark exposure slips through
it is easily adjusted for while still in the Raw state.

I have been experimenting with this workflow:

- Capture in RAW
- Open in Camera RAW
    adjust color temp
    adjust exposure, shadow, highlight and minimal contrast adjustment
    Open in Photoshop as 16 bit
- Image/Adjust/Channel Mixer
    Roughly 30% Red, 60% Green, 10% Blue
- Image/Mode/Greyscale
    If any relatively major, overall, curve adjustments still need to be
made I will do them while still in 16 bit
- Image/Mode/8 bit
- All further adjustments made in adjustment layers

I haven¹t been able to compare the results of this process to my other
former methods of handling digital camera workflow but it seems pretty
capable of maintaining image integrity throughout the process.
