Have to say again that toning with curves, using the actions (haven't tried you zips yet), combined with the secret method for converting to BW really work so well together.... That flower image posted today was created using both techniques.... original color, converted to BW using the method Donald outlined, and then toned using the cyanotype curves action.... of course I played around with the settings a bit afterwards to get it the way I liked it... Donald I can't thank you enough for sharing these with us... Do you think it would be OK if I hosted the zip file here in the backroom, for people who might be interested in it in the future? This way you don't have to worry about bandwith issues either.... I'm thinking it might be a fantastic idea to put these two threads together as a tutorial of some sort..... Let me know.... In the mean time I'll just sit back and have more wine..... sip

I am, therefore I create.......
