Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Marcus.  Very helpful.  I also have seen that George Schaub is
coming out with a new book on b&w digital photography using photoshop.
It is not being published however until may 2005.

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: b&w photoshop
 

I was just in Books a million this evening and noticed they had a book
called "Digital black 
and white photography".  I browsed through it and it seems like
something worth 
purchasing.  I too have been waiting for someone to come out with a book
addressing 
digital black and white photography being that is the majority of my
work.  The book has 
some techniques I was familiar with as well as some that I was not.  It
sells for about 25 
bucks but I saw it on amazon.com for about 17 bucks.  Amazon also has
another book 
geared toward black and white digital photography called darkroom to
digital.  If you buy 
the two together, you get a price break $36.89.  I will probably order
them next week 
sometime.  

Heres the link to the book on amazon.
