I feel some sense of outrage at what they are doing. I think it s because I believe that Ansel would not want to be associated with a copy of a print. If

Maybe a good scan and having controls of tonal range, contrast, etc in Photoshop would make the negs print even better then he could do in a darkroom. We may

It was my guess the lens was too contrasty for copying graphic work of this sort. gar *********** REPLY SEPARATOR ***********

You still need an IR filter, you can t do it in Photoshop alone. You can simulate an IR look to a normal color image but that is not the same. Cheers, Wayne
