The discussion in the long "zen" thread was getting too complicated for me to follow ;-) But it does point to some very good tutorials at http://www.luminous-landscape.com/index.html I think lots of folks here would like them. I tried one of the duotone tutorials on an old tree picture of mine, and like the results on the screen. Like old selenium toned prints. I haven't tried yet sending it to the Epson printer.

Lovely image, Misha. It has a kind of infrared look to it. :)

Varian< Yes it did get that way. Not sure I like that or not. I was also playing with an RGB filtering tutorial from that same Luminos Landscape site, (original image was color). I may have mucked something up? Still, sort of interesting.

Beautiful. Personally, I would add contrast a bit, but really neat still. .n

>Antoonio< Thank you. Think this is better.

...I think so also. First one is more flat, if one likes/needs flat pics, but this is way much dynamic. .n

The second appears more like "duotone" the way it was introduced to me long ago. I still like the effects of the first, though. Both good. :)
