Warren lent me a book on Adobe Photoshop and I thought I'd try their color emphasis technique. Essentially, you use the brush tool to paint what you don't want to stand out in black and white and leave what you do want to stand out in color. Interesting.

hi, nice work! The overall image looks a bit muted (dark) though, at least on my monitor.

It looks a little dark on my monitor here at work, too. It seemed to look ok on my laptop at home. I'm gonna check it out when I get home. This monitor stuff drives me a little nuts sometimes. Trying to calibrate everything to be the same can be quite a chore. A guy here at work who does a lot of photography says it can be a problem with digital stuff. No joking.
Thx!

I used to have problems with my pictures being too dark when I printed them. I figured out that I had my Powerbook screen on maximum brightness which made the pictures appear brighter than they really were. Check the brightness of your screen. I have mine set around the midway point. I have an Adobe system preference that allows me to adjust the color and brightness of my screen and during the calibration it said to keep the screen to the middle brightness setting.
Thx Benson. I lowered the brightness already. Maybe I need to do a little more. I'll have to check. If you notice the 3 horses pic, I did that while the laptop was not plugged in which causes the screen to appear darker. Thus, the 3 horses pic appears too washed out on another pc. Ugh... Just have to play with this stuff.
