Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
Are you setting your camera to b/w mode or converting the color photo to b/w
in Photoshop?
I use a Fuji S2 and experimented setting it in b/w mode. The resulting
photos didn't have much contrast.
Now I keep the camera in color mode and RAW. The rest of my workflow is just
as yours, except I use a 1280. I convert to b/w in Photoshop and the prints
look great.

  Hi,

  I've been printing some digital camera (6mp dslr) pictures lately and
  they all seem to have the same problem: the shadows posterize. This
  is one problem I have not had with scanned negatives.

  I dont know where this come from. Is it noise or something else ? I
  have tried some noise software but it give the picture a plasticky
  artificial look.

  Workflow: Open the file in Photoshop 7 with the RAW plug-in, convert
  to 16 bits and do all other adjustements in Photoshop.

  Printer: Epson 1160, UT inkset and Paul's curve.

  Thank in advance,
  Andre
