Re: Trouble Getting Started

2005-05-05 by Donald Frederick

Stephen,
I sent you the photo I was having trouble with to your direct email 
address. After reading your suggestions I realized the image was 
converted to greyscale and saved as a Tiff from a Jpg image 
in "Arcsoft"
I tried again in photoshop and it works fine. Nice nuetral greys and 
Blacks. I then interpolated to 300dpi (from 72dpi)with Genuine 
Fractels and sharpened with a "NIK" plugin. It still works!
Thanks for the clues, they set me straight.
Thanks again,
Don
