    Making a greyscale

    Hi all,

    I'd like to attach a greyscale with 21 levels to the bottom of my inkjet printed images to be able to see if I have any colour casts within the print. In short, what Dean Collins advocates doing (but I lost his notes!). If I remeber right, he used 21 levels from black without detail to white without detail, all with smooth transitions in between. Hope this makes sense?

        Welcome to Retouch Pro Craig. I was all set to lend a helping hand but I see Greg pointed you in the right direction. Let us know if that helps when printing. I'm curious since I never tried that before.

            To do this I used Neat Image, Surface Blur, and Blur Tool to get rid of the noise and other stuff. I used the Channel Mixer to get to b&w and Curves to enhance the tonal range. With overlay gray layers I darkened the floor and bench. Finally, I used both conventional and hiraloam sharpening methods...

            Really struggling with colour correcting images..
            by CapnBloodbeard
            First time posting here...

            I mainly use LR2, but CS sometimes - I mainly ask because the Kelby books I've...

            Is there anything else I can do?
            by Clara Williams
            I recently out of the blue received this picture of my great grandfather plowing. The picture was in the newspaper and it was taken in 1937 because there is an article about the Hindenburg crashing on the opposite side. The picture was taken into the sun and it was backlit to start off with. I don't...

            Moldy Polaroid - help! (Aunty Jack)
            by Caitlin
            Hi Everyone,

            No-one other than my fellow Aussies are likely to recognise the name in the title, or the image attached, but Aunty Jack was an extremely popular and controversial comedy icon in Australia in the 70's.

            Today I was given this polaroid by the actor/comedian...
