Start with the color image in Photoshop. Make several duplicate layers from the Background layer (2-4 us usually enough for me, but you'll use more at first as you learn how this stuff works). Now you have multiple layers with an identical image in each one. Then use a *different* conversion filter on each layer. You can compare them quickly by switching layer visibility on and off. If narrow it down to two different ones, try blending them by reducing the opacity on the uppermost one. Heck, you can use the eraser and have parts of the image done with different filters. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
