Re: [Digital BW] Re: image degradation when converting to BW?

2004-09-03 by Douglas Meeuwsen

well, my first try seems to look like the channel mixer is still better 
in the shadow areas, although the reds look good. The filter effects 
were very subtle. I could not seem to get a drastic red-filter-like 
effect. The miranda effects are very exaggerated. Is that why the 
blocking occurs? I wish I new what was going on with that conversion.
