Since it,s a tedious process i very much doubt that it would be used for regular copy but it produces beautiful graphics. product shots of the moon watch were done this way. best regards simon jessurun - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Bridge" <abridge@mac.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 5:23 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] re: magazines refuse digital images > on 7/16/02 3:24 AM, Sal DiMarco,Jr. at sdmp007@pressroom.com thoughtfully > wrote: > > > Today, I guess they get the "engraved" look by washing the picture > > through a computer program designed for them. > > I believe the "engraved" look comes from the fact they are actually > engravings done by an artist from photographs.
