Black and White Workflow
2003-01-31 by cliffordfeller <cwfeller@mindspring.com>
I am scanning Tri-X on a Nikon 4000ed with Silverprint as an RGB positive file .I am then inverting and converting in Photoshop seven using image invert ,levels ,curves and sometimes channel mixer. Which is the best technique scanning as an RGB or Grayscale? If I scan as RGB where is the best place to do the conversion to monochrome ( Channel mixer check box monochrome ?)I have difficulty getting a good black and white conversion in levels and curves alone.My monitoris a Lacie and it is calibrated withOptical. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks, Cliff
