And the Tri-X shots as well, though they are a little muddier. Still, on my monitor (a calibrated Lacie Photon20vision LCD), they are well within the bounds. I don't like the sepia shot. You might try my quadtone process, which I posted to the LUG a while back. --Jim -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jplaurel=spectare.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jplaurel=spectare.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Richard Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 2:47 AM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] B&W, digital vs. film Please indulge me. If not, please click delete :-) Looking at: http://www.dragonsgate.net/photosite/PaW2005/ 26 pictures, 11 are in B&W (week 11 I converted to Sepia just because I thought it looks better that way). Week 1, 2, 3 and 16 are taken with Epson R-D1. Shot RAW and converted to B&W Week 9, 10, 12 are Tri-X pushed to ASA800 Week 11 T-Max 400. Week 22 are Acros 100 Week 24, both of them, are HP5+ Not looking at my (lack of) photographic ability for the moment, but just judging the look of the photos for the B&W quality, what do you think? Consider my B&W workflow is unconventional - negatives are processed in a Jobo, then scan. Do they look any worse than conventional processed B&W? Thanks for any comments and suggestions. // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
