As you know, that's what's so nice about the FredMiranda set - or any similar set. For $34 or whatever it is, I'm perfectly happy to have had someone else spend endless hours, if not days and weeks, twitching with channel mixer so that I don't have to - but giving me the options to play with it if I am in the mood. :-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Wajsman Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 12:20 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] BW Plugin Question I too have started to use this plugin extensively, and I am very pleased with the results. B.D. has given me some tips on how to enhance the contrast a bit in Photoshop after the initial conversion using the Miranda plug-in to give the images a bit more of the "real B&W" look. I am sure that all the actions performed by the plug-in could be replicated manually in Photoshop, but I have no patience to learn about channel mixer, layers and all of that. I just want good images and that is what I am getting with this. Nathan B. D. Colen wrote: > No need for the flak jacket - but I sure don't understand how anyone > can say that. :-).
