Re: High ISO Digital Monochromic [BW] Imaging

Well done for spotting that, Den. I've installed it and am having an experiment. It seems pretty varied in what it can do. Initially I felt it might make me a bit lazy. But 99% of my prints are simple improvements and it is rare that I go for special effects - so it will be a good complement to PWP....

Bilateral Sharpening for Dummies, please

I have been most impressed by Den's multi-stage sharpening process. However, I do want to learn how to use Bilateral Sharpening on its own. I have the white paper, but need more help.

Re: High ISO Digital Monochromic [BW] Imaging

Den, Foregive me for not posting an image for experimentation. I certainly will. I took some time out in a bookshop yesterday looking at some books of the work of people like Sebastiao Selgado. Google quickly finds some reasonable sized examples. Is not the difference between his prints and that por...

Re: High ISO Digital Monochromic [BW] Imaging

Den,

Not ignoring you. Just rather dominated, photographically, by several 'asap' requests.

I think I have a nice low ASA shot of Bosham, that might make an interesting High ISO challenge.

I'll find something soon.

Re: High ISO Digital Monochromic [BW] Imaging

Den,

Re: High ISO Digital Monochromic [BW] Imaging

"if you sandwich it through the reversed brightness mask"

Could you explain this a bit more, please.
