"D.R." …
Thank you for your comments and I hope I can satisfactorily answer your questions. "Two Women Tepatitlan" was taken in 1980 on Kodak Plus-X film developed in Kodak D-76. The b&w negative was scanned, levels set manually in Photoshop, and a "perimeter burn" done on a lasso selection with a 150 pixel feather. 150 pixels is my usual STARTING point because I like the gentle gradations it gives on a burn. The burn is usual done in curves, then I invert the selection and use curves to bring up mid-tones and subdue highlights.

"Man on 11th Street" was taken 2 years ago and was captured as a color digital file. The method for translating to bw was through Channel Mixer in the Image pull down menu in Photoshop. Toning was done as described above by feathered burn and inverted selection and using curves fine-tuning midtones and highlights.
