Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Clicking "grayscale" in Photoshop.
I hate those default contrast settings. They're way too flat.
Thanks for the link, Tom. I don't have either the software or the hardware that guy does, but even his "easy" solution seems complicated. Which is some strange consolation.

Photoshop CS3 has a Black & White adjustment that my instructor praises highly. He's old-school who has shot film B&W in the past. He has nothing good to say about shooting B&W digitally!

I "only" have cS2 and Paintshop something. And I guess I could have the Gimp.

What do you find when you view the properties of the CD drive and select the AutoPlay tab? The "Actions" settings may be different for each item in the drop-down list. What action is highlighted for "Music CD"?
I had "take no action" selected. In any case, I went back into that screen to make sure, and the next time I inserted a CD, I held down the shift key. After that, the problem seems to have fixed itself. t waves hands

For CS2, he'd probably suggest creating a Hue/Saturation adjustment level, and then taking the saturation (ie the color intensity) down to 0.

I haven't done really any monkeying around with images other than a random click here and there in iPhoto, but selecting iPhoto's simple b&w option, then "enhancing" really beefs up the saturation and contrast. I are simple.

That seems to give me the same results as just going with Desaturate, and that's awfully flat.
For this original, desaturation in either CS2 or PSP gives about this, whereas by splitting into RGB channels and tweaking how I can recombine them I can get something more shapeful like this. And there are a number of different ways to tweak.
One criticism is the original image, but even if I tweak it so that I love the colours, it's not doing service to the B&W within. And I never had this much trouble exposing B&W on film.
eta: and enhancing using PSP's autocontrast option after the greyscaling isn't wonderful either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't suppose there are any consumer B&W digital cameras... any non-consumer models?
