Digital BW, The Print

Elliot, In theory "much" of it should.... but in function you don't have the ability to make image adjustment or selections using color.. So you just will have to work with in that box.. The mask I described ...using the find edges filter works really well with both B&W and color images. Obviously you can select a shade of gray in a B&W image but in most B&W images that gets confusing and doesn't work well. 

So in your case you'll have fewer options to work with but that's ok as you made choice to lock in the box with a Strictly B&W camera.. that was your choice.. (wish I had one..:-)..) 

For those that have the option of going B&W or color in their process.. I'd honestly suggest doing some images both ways... On images that theirs a clear advantage using color to help with adjustments or creating masks it'll quickly show up.. I use color scans or files way more then a B&W scans these days as the conversion possibilities are almost endless..

  For those of us who are new to digital photography, and thus learning how to use PS and other editing programs, the information about masking is both interesting and informative.



  Jimbo and others using masks:  Are your masking instructions and algorithms applicable to black and white files as well as color files?  Some of us are using the Leica Monochrome and hence do not have the color information that you can use in your masks. In addition, others might be "capturing" their files in black and white mode.



  Thanks.



  Elliot

  Jimbo, many thanks for that. I'll be printing out that masking info. 'cause I'm sure I'll be reading it over and over. If you get any further ideas on how to deal with the tree tips, please post them; I've really got to get this tree tips issue nailed down once and for all.

  Do you have a website where one can take a look at your work? I've read you posts for years but haven't a clue as to what interests you photographically. Also, what part of Montana do you live in?
