Thanks Mark,
I totally agree about the shadows. The lighting is overly dramatic with
just a single light source straight above.

Happy to help.
If you're going to work in pure B&W, the defaults—Dot Gain 20%, etc—all work
well, presuming that you've captured the entire dynamic range that the exposure

get when focus stacking can be used to manipulate the bokeh. For
