WOW 4-29-07

Resurrecting the WOW for a moment.:-).

I converted this shot from last weekend to BW using the Fotofusion
red filter(the ones P. Alling uses). Itt seems a bit flat to me,
specially the face looking flat, so i tried adjusting the curves in R,
G, B, modes, but when i do, i would get the actual colour adjusting,
not the BW version of the colour.

Anyone steer me into the correct way to do that. I'm sure its
something i missed.

I downloaded the image - it is still in RGB.  Either convert to LAB and 
adjust the curve in the L (luminosity) channel only, then re-convert to RGB, 
or (what will be as good as the R, G  B channels are presently identical or 
almost so) convert to Greyscale first and then adjust your curve.  I did 
that and can post the adjusted image and curve or email them.

Can you post the curve at least.

I thought the filter might do the conversion, never thought to look,
but i quess not.

My other problem is printing it. On the 2400, its a bit darker than
the monitor, and its calibrated.

I have PS set to colour manage. Should i be doing it differently for BW
