Digital BW, The Print

Hi Marzenna,

Over the years I've owned several of Fred's actions and, more recently, a
few of his new plugins. Until the Pixel Genuis folks developed Photokit
Sharpener, I swore by Fred's sharpening routines; specifically, 10D CSpro
and Intellisharpen. I have the Digital B&W Pro action, but have found other,
IMO better ways, of converting color to B&W. Overall, though, I find Fred's
plugins very useful and real time savers. The cost is starting to creep up
there, but I feel there still a fair deal. I remember years ago when Fred's
actions were, like, $2.50-5 each! Granted, the plugins are much more
sophisticated.

Hope this helps.

Alan Huntley

hello,
new to the group and curious if anybody of the members has experience
with fm software [http://www.fredmiranda.com] their photoshop
automation tools, especially these two:

- digital b&w pro
- b&w film emulation

since it's just a bunch o presets - are they worth the money?
how advanced are they? the descriptions and sample images don't really
say much to me.
