Default Small Grey Scale

I found this Small Grey Scale with the E V Values on it on line - but I will have to search for where that is.

With that Grey Scale I set about trying a Grisaille type of image. I piggybacked {drag and dropped} my Grey Scale over my black and white image. Then I workied up all my black and white tones and values first, then added my my color back in to match my Grey Scale. All this is done in Hue and Saturation Tool.

My railway image is done this way.

For anyone interested, while working in Hue Saturation I have tried 300 and 600 dpi with 9 X 7.75 inches. When I enlarge this size, with the Grey Scale over athe Image I am able to get a very good idea of how the tones and values match. This is especially true in the black and white part. Sometimes I use a magnifying glass as well.

Sorry for the delay in replying. We were on a week's R and R and left the P C at home.

My thanks for the kind words. I do appreciate it.

Seeing Amsterdam, I will say that many of my ideas come from studying the Dutch Old Master Painters.

While away I got a 7X MAGNIFYING LUPE. That does wonders in keeping my images in strong check - especially my straight lines. They turn out Blue Print Straight using the 7X. This tool works on my still and video cam screes perfectly. If I put 3X Magnification on my screen from the cam - adding the 7X boosts it up 10X - like a pair of Binoculars of the same power approx.
