RE: [Digital BW] Split Contrast Printing

2004-05-06 by Ken Carney

Hi, Don.  I thought I had that book but now can't find it...must have left a
big impression, or I might have loaned it out.  Anyhoo...in the context of
split-filtering as in the darkroom, it's pretty easy using history brush in
Photoshop.  For example, you can change the contrast globally with a curve,
save as a snapshot, delete the contrast history, and paint in what you want
with history brush.  Same thing with selective sharpening, especially easy
with PhotoKit sharpener.  Like the darkroom, a little goes a long way.  

Regards,
