you can b/w-ify color images as long as the effect is applied evenly across the entire image.

your copier doesn’t have the invert option SilverStag? my scanner with do both slides and negs and if i end up using old scanned negs plan on doing basically what you want to do.

the rule for photoshop generally is whatever you do must be done over the entire image. no spot treatment. see monkeybort‘s post above.

so no it doesn’t break any rules. have fun. we’ll look for your entry(ies).

that’s cool. yeah knock yourself out. 🙂

just for giggles try the solarization setting too. and of you do please post what the results looked like here.

You do not have to shoot b/w. You can shoot color and desaturate or convert to b/w in post-processing. Or you could shoot color of gray objects. General rule of thumb for post-processing is that it should be applied evenly to the image. Feel free to post here before the contest to get a ruling if there’s something you’re not sure of 🙂

a preview of one of my entries for tonight:

i haven’t caught any peeping toms yet….don’t think there’ll be any monkeybort pics tonight. we may see one of mr. bort (aka mr. gray) though.

That just means you need to work harder at goading Mr. Bort into joining us. 😆
