In other words, I prefer colour as a regular medium, B&W is an occasional pleasure. That said, ironically, I have been taking part in a monthly B&W Digital Print Exchange since 2005, and a few of my colour shots get converted to B&W anyway! :-) Cheers Jayanand On Mon, Jan 2, 2017 at 7:16 PM, Gerry Walden <gerry.walden at icloud.com> wrote: > Ever since I switched to digital I have had problems with some images > deciding whether it is a ?colour? image or a ?mono? image.
