Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M8 Images
is this straight basic B&W conversion or did you process it to look this way
I like it a lot!
Very nice contrast LloydSo... if the wife drags you along when she's getting her hair done, I figure the least you can do is make her self-conscious about it. Right?

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M8 Images
What size do you set images to to have them come up larger on the screen?
Thanks!

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M8 Images
I just play around with it until I like it. I usually have a look I'm going for. I did these in Lightroom, and used a couple of presets, and then tweaked. I generally add a little local contrast curve as well.

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M8 Images
I use "Export" in Lightroom, and set the image size to 875 x 875, so it's never larger than that, but may be less. (The forum will not allow images over 900 on a side anyway, and resizes images that are larger.) When I'm in CS4, I either use Image Processor to do the same thing, or run an action I wrote that does so.

Helen - I am not doing any of my signature post-processing to the images (just straight RAW conversions and color balance) since I don't want anyone to pick up my images and start any "M9 IQ sucks" threads. They are indeed very sharp but at the same time very pleasing.
JSK - Thanks!

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images
My M9 is still in Leica's hands, due to the lines on the sensor, but I played around with a couple of shots made at high ISO (2500), just to see how they look in b/w. I really like the grain here. (btw, these are crops to give a closer look at the grain.)
Both shot with the 75 lux wide open:

Very nice tones and very little noise to my eye. If I could have gotten that quality back when I was pushing HP5 to 1600 I'd have been ecstatic !
Sorry to hear your M9 is not back in your hands yet.

LOL ...."M9 IQ sucks"...
Thanks RICCIS for your Reply.
I don't see how anyone can BASH these Photos...
they are ASTOUNDINGLY Beautiful
Lloyd : Love the Feel & Look of of your 1st shot
Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images
Loyd, does look really nice. I never had a problem with the iso of the M8 & when I look at those pictures I think I will use more high iso. The trick in your shots is that the grane in the shadows work well with the texture of the skin.

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M9 Images
As for the M9, I've pretty much decided to hold off for a while... see how things shake out. "Once bitten, twice shy", I guess. I'm still very happy with my M8, and as much as I love the changes (most of them) in the M9, I really see it more as an evolution of the M8... nothing groundbreaking/earthshaking really... so, nice to have, but nothing I can't live without... at least for a while. We'll see.
I know just what you mean, GlennB. I would have been as well.
