Re: before and after...
Tone looks much better in B&W August. Much better crop too. A good example of the importance of post processing. What did you use to get the grain effect?

Re: before and after...
GIMP has a great plugin for black and white conversion. i use it for that purpose; though i use PS cs3 for most other tasks.
it allows you to select different types of films to convert to. in this case i believe that i used Ilford 100. it spans the gambit from agfapan 25 to ilford sfx. heres a link to the plugin...(it's actually a script-fu command) if you use it in 2.4 you have to deselect "add layer" or it won't work. bugs...grrr. i still use 2.17 most often because of the wide range of scripts that work with it, but they have finally come out with the final +1 on 2.4. GIMP also has a plugin that does the best infrared conversion that i have found to date as well. (not used here) |

Re: before and after...
Great info - thanks. Although I use Linux in my day job at home it's all Mac so the GIMP is not on my plate. Last time I looked though it seemed to be coming along very well (though I still find it a lot slower compared to CS3 - same with you?). Cedric_R the landscape moderator uses GIMP I believe. Maybe we need a GIMP tutorial to try and encourage more open source software for image processing.

Re: before and after...
GIMP for mac.
they have it for mac too. yeah, it's slower...but 2.4 is miles faster than any of the previous releases. i'm not as keen on the work environment in GIMP... it just has a few things that i find better results with. i open it up once every few days or so. it got me through the first few months until i got cs3. |

Re: before and after...
Yeah I know - but as they also have Photoshop for the Mac then I'll stick with that
. Maybe if CS3 was released on Linux I'd change OS, but I'm so used to Photoshop workflow that I can't change. |

Re: before and after...
i know how that goes.
if i wouldn't have started with GIMP in the interim, i wouldn't have bothered. (still no CMYK support either.) __________________
