Windows on Chestnut B/W

as noted.
I changed my BW conversion recently. I used to do a new layer of levels and a layer of gradient map and then adjust each of the RGB channels in the layers dialog by using the slider only. Now in the channel adjustments I've been using resetting the white point on the Red channel, the black point on the Green channel and then resetting the White, Black and Grey points on the Blue channel. Not sure if it works better or not.
Exif: F Number: 16, Exposure Bias Value: 0.50, ExposureTime: 1/80 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 160, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: NIKON D200

Both are wonderful images, but I absolutely love the color version, Robert. I really like what the curtains add to the image, but in particular, I like the beautiful colors in the brick and stone. #8450331Kathleen Brennan March 12, 2010
