Rodger,
You must have taken my point of the latitude of the image with a positive agreement as your new post regarding High Dynamic Range Photo is great and corrects just what I identified as the problem with the regular color being converted to black and white.
I said "You want a system that can catch all the details in very low light shadows and not be washed out in the very brightly sun lit areas." and you seemed to have found it in a remarkable short time.
I love the results you are getting and I would expect your new HDR photos to sell even better than the sepia conversions.
I have no problem with your criticism of my reply as you continued on and expanded all of our understanding of the adjustments of Gama, Latitude and the method of mixing the digital photos. I sure enjoy this Forum. Thanks for sharing you research with all of us.
