Tips for adjusting BW scans

[Ben Kreunen <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

I've been working on a digital imaging tutorial aimed at people who know 
little about digital imaging and have long been searching for a method of 
adjusting BW scans that was foolproof for a wide variety of images that 
could be broken down into simple steps (largely because the people where I 
work don't want to learn principles, they just want to know how to do 
it).  Finally I think I've found it.

Many IR images end up looking 'muddy' because people are too scared to make 
their highlights white or shadows black (just as in most photographs) in an 
attempt to retain as much detail as possible. This method provides good 
control over shadows and highlights and provides a good starting point for 
further fine tuning images.

I've posted an offshoot of the tutorial at 
<http://www.bigbenpublishing.com.au/gallery/photography/bwscan.html> Try it 
out on some of your existing web images and see what you think.

Cheers

Ben
