All what you say is true, I've worked some time the B&W picture, dodging and burning , and I'm happy you have see that the human figure has a cleaner separation, as well as some more balanced contrasts. These things was just what I wanted improve on the image and I love do all this on B&W. Thank you very much for your detailed analyze and your time. cheers Lluis El 25/12/2010, a las 1:35, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> <tedgrant at shaw.ca> escribi?: > Bob Shaw said: > Subject: Re: [Leica] Color or B&W > >> COLOR!!! <<, > > Hi Bob, > > Question....
