I think the problem is that Sutcliffe prints are duotone sepia. Maybe what I need to do is store reference colours of what goes for black,grey or white in Sutcliffe pictures and get these to work as filters on bw images. The tones I was trying to get were the ones shown here, I got quite close but not even a cigarillo: http://www.whitby-yorkshire.co.uk/sutcliffe/sutcliffe.htm Strange thing about Sutcliffe is that he's seldom mentioned in the same breath as other great photographers -unfortunately! Nearly everyone has seen his pictures (usually in fish restaurants or bars with a maritime theme) but he's just not up with the "gods" . Thanks again, Douglas SonC@aol.com wrote: >In a message dated 9/9/2005 10:41:12 A.M.
