The Vulcan Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) Agree "Fantasteak" and also much too contrasty. If you remember with your "winged wonder" shot this was also a problem. What you have here is overexposed highlights and blocked up shadows. I'm sure this is the result of your manipulation as a D80 at 200 asa would invariably produce a full tonal range. It appears to me that you are converting to grey scale when seeking monotone. May I suggest you use the mode of "de-saturating" the colour image and then adjust the contrast/brightness and black point. Using this method you will still have the "use" of the colour controls to tweak the tones. Here's a link that you might find useful to understand the above:- http://lightroom-news.com/2007/08/24/tips-...te-conversions/ It's academic whether or not you use Lightroom - the same principles apply. Hope this helps. Edited April 6, 2008 by The Vulcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
