[Leica] Toning in Photoshop: PAW 13

[aaron.sandler at duke.edu (Aaron Sandler)]

Chris,

If you click on the word "guidance" in my little paragraph of text under 
the first photo, you will be taken to:

http://www.computer-darkroom.com./tutorials/tutorial_2_1.htm

That article by Ian Lyons is on "Monochrome from Colour," so I skipped 
steps 1 and 2 and started with converting my monochrome image into RGB, and 
then picked up with step 3 in the tutorial.  I haven't printed any of them 
out yet, but I'm pretty pleased with the on-screen results.

Have fun,
Aaron
