Re: B&W Conversion Plug-ins

2005-03-05 by Kelsang Drime

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for the pointers.

As a completed newbie to digital photography/printing I am completely
overwhelmed by both the amount of new knowledge required to produce
images and the plethora of conversion techniques. I am sure that over
time I will gain the required expertise.

In the interim I find the interface of Black and White Studio
http://www.powerretouche.com/Black-white_plugin_tutorial.htm#tutorial
somewhat familiar. I can get the look of Tri-X or HP5(tones) at the
click of a button. I can push or pull exposure and use simulated
multigrade paper. All with the additional use of sliders.

This is very helpful as I simultaneously try my hand at PSCS and build
up my skills.
