My latest in the B&W Challenge just didn't translate well from the screen and doesn't fit in with the quality of the other submissions.
Q 1. Is it possible to withdraw it?
Q 2. What is the best way to save things from Photoshop CS for this site. (The contrast looks very good for most of the B&W submissions, but looks very poor for my submission - what's the secret?)) |

I would suggest that you leave it in place. You may receive one comment which opens a door for you to try something you hadn't considered. That being said, I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question...

I don't think u can withdraw it. I belive the secret is proper monitor balancing.

You can't withdraw your own submission. Try boosting the contrast in photoshop before you save to increase contrast.

You cannot withdraw I'm afraid.
file/save for web in CS this opens another page giving you the percentage options and actual size etc.

Did you save it in greyscale or rgb ? this makes a difference sometimes.

| Don't boost the contrast to much because you will get a mostly black and white picture with very few grays. And, to me, that is worse than having low contrast. |

OK, thanks everyone. It looks like two weeks of humility for me. I have tried boosting the contrast in PS but the image started to look very artificial. Also, the focus seemed to be much better on the original but turned soft somewhere along the line. I have calibrated my monitor, but with the Spyder system, so who knows how close to reality it is.
Maybe I should just buy a D70. LOL. I'm not sure how that fits in here, but I keep coming back to that conclusion in all my discussions. |

I would suggest learning some more photoshop tricks (converting in the channel mixer is one, using curves is another) before you decide to just chuck it all and go for a d70.
it's a great cam, don't get me wrong, but it sounds like you're mostly having issues with post-processing right now.
