[Leica] IMG: B&W Images

[Lluis Ripoll]

You did a good work Jim on this picture, it looks great, maybe the focusing or the clarity on the eyes is a little bit over processed for my personal preferences, but there are your preferences the ones important, it is your picture.

> After reading Tina and Lluis' discussion of B&W image processing, I pulled up one of my first and favorite Leica images and reprocessed it.  This was camera shop processing, from 1952, and had some scratches and flaws.  I used Neat Image to clean it up without losing detail, Focus Magic Level 1 to sharpen slightly, Photoshop tools to remove some imperfections, and then Silver Efex Pro 2.0 for final adjustments.
