>>Dear all,
>>I just found out a great method of converting a neg to greyscale
>>from a student who found it out from a prof who found it out
>>from....who knows:
>>
>>Do layer>new adjustment layer>hue/saturation twice. In other
>>words, two of these adjustment layers.
>>
>>On the top hue/saturation layer, move the slider to the far left
>>under saturation to desaturate the image to a greyscale look. This
>>layer is in "normal" blend mode on the layer drop down menu.
>>
>>Set the hue/saturation layer closest to the image, the one right on
>>top of the image, to "color" mode in the dropdown menu on the
>>layers palette that usually says "normal".
>>
>>Go into that layer, double click on the palette, and with the hue
>>slider, slide back and forth. This will change the relationships
>>between the colors globally in all sorts of possible ways and
>>choices from infrared to deep and dark.
>>
>>Those of you diginuts already know this. Those of you like myself
>>and other budding diginuts, this is really quite cool.
