levels of gray (i.e. less bit depth) is easily compensated for by a higher resolution --- that's the basic principle of halftoning or of stochastic dithering in printing. Roy - Roy Harrington [EMAIL PROTECTED] Black White Photo Gallery http://www.harrington.com

size brush you like (big is best I think). Also use a low Opacity like 10% to 20%. Paint over the image. If you do a lot it may be necessary to move up the History state. This method is really nice because it avoids clipping the shadows/highlights. Roy - Roy Harrington [EMAIL PROTECTED] Black

. With multiple passes you average several samples getting a more accurate measurement. You are increasing your resolution beyond the random noise level; when you get down to the quantization level its a hard limit on resolution. That's the best you can do. Austin Roy Roy Harrington [EMAIL

of resolution. What is the resolution? At the very dense end the resolution is a whole stop i.e. 0.30D units. At the other end it's close to .3/2048 or 0.00015D units. So, again, I can't feel the concept of resolution is very meaningful -- its just too varied. Roy Regards, Austin Roy
