This will leave your curves adjustment always available for additional tweaking as well as let you create a more customized vignette by using a low opacity white brush on the mask. I would also perform the B and W conversion in another channel mixer adjustment layer. That method is faster, allows for the same adjustments, and lets you toggle the black and white effect for future edits.Justin (Pusha)http://pushapixel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648535834473287346.post-28079810204634233402008-04-20T11:58:00.000+08:002008-04-20T11:58:00.000+08:00thanks! i love b&w images and this is really helpful.
