New way to convert RAW to B/W!

New way to convert RAW to B/W!

2003-02-26 by flyfishingusa2002 <tflyfish@citlink.net>

If you haven't already heard Adobe has a new plugin to convert from 
RAW to RGB with Photoshop 7.01. I have just purchased the plugin and 
the results from my D1 files are nothing short of stunning. I have 
Bibble, Nikon Capture 3.5 and Qimage. I have no further use for 
them! 
What's this got to do with B/W I hear you ask. Well, one of the 
controls is the "Saturate" slider. Move it to zero and you have 
instant B/W RGB, what is more is that there is a "Shadows" slider 
that will darken or lighten the shadows for you as well. Along with 
exposure contrast etc you have a full set of controls which allow 
you to see in real time a preview of the corrected file (picture)

I am still amazed at not only the RGB file that it produces but the 
B/W files as well. 

If you are a RAW file user go check it out.

Oh, I have no connection with Adobe at all, just a user.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
