Re: [Digital BW] A Probably But Not Necessarily Dumb Question on MIS/CFS/MV w/B&W Negs

2002-02-05 by Jerry Olson

Just convert your grayscale scan to rgb before adding one of Paul's
curves. Then print with the curve of your choice.

90 percent of my scans are from black and white negatives.

I'll start experimenting with some digital RGB images with the Wolff and Roark curves, but I'm already wondering whether there's a way of using this system to print digital scans of black & white negatives.  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
