I have sent two e-mails and have received no returns, so I guess I'll ask here Remember your post a while back using Silver Efex Pro 2 as sort of an adjustment layer? You changed the blending mode to Luminosity, reduced the opacity to 25-35 (?), and then upped the saturation. My question is do you think this would work in an image destined for print or is it only for web presentation? Hope your mail is working OK, otherwise please remove the Pam block
I'm not John Mumaw (I'm fairly sure of that, anyway), but I don't see why there would be any problem using this technique for prints. To be sure, you could inspect the photo at 100% and then hide and show the adjustment layer to see if there's any artifacts, like halos, produced by it.

Hi Pam,
That's odd...I usually always receive emails sent from RMNP. Sorry 'bout the mixup (and I assure you...no 'Pam' block!).
Anyway, my alter ego is correct. What that technique does is replicate what the Nik Color Efex Tonal Contrast filter achieves, but I'm just too cheap to buy that kit.
It sure does make an image pop!
