Hi, this PAW from me is a bit different from my usual stuff. It's a portrait (I hope <g>)!
One issue I would like to hear some advice on, is the conversion to B&W. The original was quite underexposed (it seems my for long time trusty Metz 40MZ3i is developing exposure problems) so I converted only using the red channel (the others were too dark because of tungsten lighting and underexposure). As you can see, there is problem with blown highlights on the lower left. In the other channels they were not blown. What would be a good way to paste the details from the other channels? My quick experiments were not good with it. I originally wanted to post something different from the same venue (it's a Forum 2000 conference on globalisation issues with some ex-presidents like Vaclav Havel and other interesting figures, but it was all the usual not-so-interesting news photographs I got there).
