[Leica] Lily in Black and White

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Jim,

there are other options; if you can run Linux you can run GIMP, which has a 
lot 
of what PS Has and is free! Myself I run PS Elements 2.0 mostly. I have 4, 
but 
think that the additions are not worth the money and certainly don't do 
anything 
to help my B&W.

Apart from the fact that I normally shoot in B&W, when I do work in colour - 
or 
play with somone else's shits - I find that if you previsualise the B&W 
effect 
and try to adjust the colours and levels to give good B&W it works well.
