Digital BW, The Print

I'm trying to work up my first B&W from an original Canon XT/350D shot, and
discovering good and bad news about digital originals.  I think the most
pleasant surprise I've just run into is how much easier masking can be if
the image is left in color and the saturation is run all the way up.  The
magic lasso works better and areas that where it was almost impossible to
see any edges in B&W  become quite distinct.  Unlike my previous and less
happy attempts with color film originals, the grain or noise of the color
digital image is so low that it doesn't through off the magic lasso tool.

 

(I've placed the draft Windmill image on my web page, below, but it still
need more work before it'll be ready for 16 x 20.)
