Digital BW, The Print

Greetings,

I tried it on a Katrina image:

and it did exactly what you mentioned - darkened the highlights and  
lightened the dark areas which in my mind made the image less powerful.

And it is indeed agonizingly slow.

As far as I am concerned it does nothing someone who has a decent  
knowledge and experience cannot do him/herself.

Regards,

Christer
