I'm still very tentative about using iPhoto - there are a bunch of things I need to figure out, like how to modify a picture without losing the original, and how to adjust the brightness without using auto-enhance. But I am very happy with the black and white effect here - I love the blue tones, which do wonders for my skin and make my eyes more intense. The original colour photo is ok too, you can go see it on
my Flickr if you click the photo.
