Thanks Ben. A different take from you.Regards,Debi

I had tried to do something similar with another picture once. This looks very pleasing to the eye.Regards,Debi

What can I say. You seem to be brimming with ideas Mike.Regards,Debi

Thanks Allen . Its always interesting to see what kind of different approaches are taken. Looks good to me.Regards,Debi

Thanks Claude. That looks very nice and natural.Debi

Thanks Art. I didnt have anything in particular in mind. Just wanted to see what experts would do with the picture.  Regards, Debi

Thanks Tom. Debi

This is what I had done. Processed in LR with sharpening in CS6 ( dont like LR's sharpening).Debi

i really like the look of this. Thanks PP. Gives it a kind of atmosphere.Debi

I would like have suggestions as to how this picture should be processed. I use LR4 & CS6 ( sometimes) and seem to be going too much for the high contrast look. Debi

OK I remembered what I had done now. I had used the Point Curve option in the Tone Curve Panel and increased the light tones there :-).So I am happy. Thanks to you both.Debi

Thanks again. But I have used the current process. The mistake was mine as I meant Light Tones and not lightness.Debi

Thanks a lot. Just upgraded :)

Thanks I have found the option in the menu, but was wondering why the short-cut disappeared.Debi

I asked this question but cant find it any more in the forum. Sorry if I am repeating.I converted a picture to B&W in LR4 and one of the steps involved increasing the lightness by 53. The effect...

very nice processing. Debi

I had converted a picture to BW and the history shows I increased Light Tones to brighten the image. But I cant find the setting slider any more. Can any one help.BTW I am using LR4.Debi
