Toine, Thanks for the comments. My workflow is based on the one described here:
http://www.pauck.de/marco/photo/lith/digital_lith/digital_lith.html When I start with a color image, I convert it to black and white via the channel mixer to create the "shadows" layer. On the "shadows" side, I usually use a much smaller unsharp mask radius than Pauck describes, but it is really dependent on the grain/noise properties of the original image. I leave the highlights layer in color. The interaction between the highlights layer underneath and the shadow layer on top creates the desaturated, "hand colored" effect. By the way, I just printed the stairs image out on my Epson R800 and it's much better than the web version.... --Mark Toine wrote: >Yes it can, I like it very much.
