    Since you are using CS4, have you tried using the B&W adjustments layer for B&W conversion. With that there is much more flexibility to get to a B&W interpretation, than just desaturating, or gray scale in either ACR, or CS.
    Just a suggestion, if you haven't tried that route yet.

    I couldn't do much about the composition on this one, I had to shove my hand through a chainlink fence to get this. I just like how a house leaves an impression after it's gone.

    Sure , I honestly dont like how the version I entered turned out; a quick sharpen didn't fix it either. Mind you, the high quality print I have looks great.

    To see the detail. I also saved a copy to my hard drive (as I do with all the really nice shots I see both here and elsewhere on the net). I hope you do not mind - it's for personal use only, and I ain't gonna take credit for it or anything.

    I just like having beautiful shit saved so I can look at it again in the future.
