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. You are both right.? The tools available for B&W are very limited when compared to color images. This is my favorite shot of my late wife, at age 20, in 1952. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20070706-Donna+02+52.JPG.html Leica IIIa, Coated Elmar 50/3.5, Kodak Plus-X -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
