This is underexposed, flash sure would have been your friend here...is this a possible retake? you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

This means that you should have the dpp software. Open your RAW file in Canon's DPP and just select the black and white picture style.

katodog Goldmember  More info | Dec 07, 2009 20:58 | #8 If you can post a link to the RAW file, it would help people out much more. Working with a small JPG is tough. But, here's a quick edit. Copied the subjects and dropped onto a sky-blue background. then pulled a gradient in Lightroom, and a B&W preset. A fast edit, a lot more can be done to it, but the RAW would help a lot...

What is the best way to post a link for the raw file? It's better to regret things you have done than to regret things you haven't done

I haven't been annoyed enough by the pop-ups to buy a paid account, but sooner or later I know I will.Just get on there and upload your file, then drop the link in here. well let me know if this rite.

katodog Goldmember More info | Dec 07, 2009 21:28 | #13 Nope. Lightroom says "unsupported or damaged" and CS3 says "could not complete request because of a program error". The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked - Photographers shoot to thrill, not to kill

Using the individual channels for r,g,b for example (or a mixture of two channels) will often give a more expressive image than a straight greyscale conversion or desaturation.
