software for B & W photos
I have noticed on the gallery a comment on a B & W shot that the "duotone"
reminded him of his old agfa paper.I understand that various grades of paper would give a different finish to your b & W shot. My question is what software is available to enhance B & W photography.I currently convert colour to B & W using Microsoft Digital Image Suite 10. My cameras are a D50 & Olympus C740.Any suggestions anyone may have would be appreciated.Please don,t get too technical with me as I am easily lost with too much technical jargon. Many Thanks Stephen (Horace)

I cannot help with your Olympus but if you shoot RAW from a Nikon D50 and process this RAW image in Nikon Capture NX it is possible to adjust the B&W conversion. B&W conversion from RAW should be most faithful to true black and white.
Nikon Capture NX is a superb RAW converter for all Nikon cameras and applications - its worth a try! Nikon Capture NX is available as a 30 day trail from the Nikon Website.

Horace,
I don't know which image editing package you are using, but if you use Photoshop, I found this link very useful when I was learning about B&W conversion: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tut...lack-white.htm These Photoshop "Actions", macros for want of a better description, are superb http://www.thelightsrightstudio.com/photoshop-tools.htm I use the B&W conversion and toning actions all the time. There's a detailed explanation of how they are done here: http://www.thelightsrightstudio.com/...rtB&WImage.pdf Regards, Duncan

You could also try Convert to B&W Pro, although I know all the techniques for converting to B&W ,I find this quick to use it and gets the job done.
