curious little problem here. i wonder if somebody more adept with
Photodesk than i would be willing to write a how-to articlette for
Archive magazine.
i recently designed a brochure for the music&flower festival at the
Glastonbury church. the cover photo shows a sea of daffodils in the
churchyard and the church behind. the original photo is in colour but
i printed in mono. i left it to the printer to choose the paper
colour. rather appropriately, he did it on bright yellow.
the finished result makes me think i could have produced a fine effect
by making the daffodils WHITE in the original photo, so that in the
mono print the bright yellow of the paper would come through.
is there a flaw in my thinking? if not, what's the technique in
Photodesk to do the colour tweak?

as i say, it would make a good article for the magazine if anybody
wants to volunteer. Archive could do with more tips on Photodesk.
