Digital BW, The Print

I downloaded John Paul Caponigro's B&W action from the Adobe Web site,
but had problems running it. John Paul sent me an adjusted action, and
it works just fine. If you download the action from Adobe and it
doesn't run properly, let me know and I'll send you the action which
John Paul sent me (I'll try to get his ok to send it).

'em, but, quite honestly, I think you'll find you can do a better job
on your own in PS once you know a little about what you're doing.

download for free from Adobe's website. Do a search for John Paul
Caponigro and you should find the article and corresponding
downloadable action. The are other derivatives of this same technique
on sites such as The Light's Right, etc.
