Coming out from under the bed, Alan? (Alan is a wonderful person who has been lurking on the list for quite a while) I did not say you could not get a nice BW picture from a color negative. I said that to get the best possible BW print from a color negative it has to be exposed differently than

IMHO, a negative that will make a supurb BW print will only make a mediocre Color print, and one that will make a good Color print will only make a mediocre BW one. This is because you need higher contrast to get a dramatic BW print, and lower contrast to get a good Color print. The above presumes

Cotty, I think you can add more fuel to the fire. A while back I was requested to shoot BW for a client and so I went to my lab (Agfa D-Labs) to see what BW film they work best with. They told me to shoot color and the D-Lab would de-saturate. So I brought in a bunch of negatives of different

Indeed you gain flexibility, decide later if it has to be B+W or colour. And also the kind of filtering: if you take a colour shot with the intention to get finally B+W, you decide on the filtering in the digital darkroom. This will work for most filters except ofcourse for pola filters and

In PS, using Channel Mixer, output to Gray, you can get any typical BW filter effect you want. A little work with Curves and you can get just about any look. There will always reasons to shoot BW film, but they won't necessarily be to just get a BW image. BR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cotty,

Message text written by INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I like the flexibility: now I go out sometimes with three bodies, one filled with B+W, one with IR and one with colour or slide! What you lose in the process is typical grain. Who said that grain is the brushstroke of the photographer? Greetings,

Your right Herb, and I'm quite sure that in future digital camaras will have a switch to select infra red modes I hope that it will show the beautifull combination of infra red sensitivity plus grain and the halos as is given now by the Kodak infra red film. Greetings, Jos -Oorspronkelijk
