Digital BW, The Print

Hi again Paul,
I agree with the suggestion of a second monitor.. It works great....... but back to your mission at hand.. Adjusting tonality selectively within the image.. Making an adjustment mask is a great way to do this yet another is to copy a portion of the image to another layer adjusting that to where you want it then using a soft edge eraser blend that into the original layer.. By the way I also use a channel mask for selective sharpening also ..It's the cats meow.. If that interests you do a search for a sharpening mask.. It's old technology but still works well today.. Good Luck

  Thanks for the encouragement and for the second monitor suggestion. As luck would have it, when I got my new Desktop a few weeks ago I ended up with a second monitor. My tech said "You'll wonder how you got along without it". So true, what you said... I used the second monitor for just the purpose you suggested. I used to have to print out the instructions, etc and place that hard copy on my desk for reference. Rather awkward to say the list.

  Thanks also for the off-group offer, Elliot. May take you up on that!

  Regards,

  Paul
