Digital BW, The Print

Chuck, thanks for the info and link!
I must say, these advertisements masked as tutorials put my shorts in a
knot.  All that yanking around on the data and never looking at, or showing
the histogram….
BW “slider-type-tools” makes it very easy to introduce “digital” artifacts
into the image by pulling the noisy portion of the data out of hiding.  The
split channels method that Paul Roark suggested allows you to see what you
are putting into your converted image, but it’s so much harder to learn.
Has anyone seen in-depth coverage of the technique in a book or workshop?

hi Mohamed and Peter...

do try the new Photoshop CS3 beta... the B&W conversion is greatly improved,
giving slider
access to all 6 colors. Russell Brown has a nice tutorial and demo at

<http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/CS3Color_To_BWSM.mov>

in addition to the base sliders, you can click on the image and a slider for
that color
appears... way too much control for me..lol however, it does lack the
automated one
click things common on most plug ins..

fun, that's the game,
