Title:

Displaying Black-and-White Images Faithfully
 

Abstract:

Ansel Adams was a master of black-and-white photography. I am interested in how his approach to tone reproduction can be adapted for digital photography. As a first step, however, I have to show you his photographs, and this turns out to be non-trivial if you want to be true to the original images. I will show some of Ansel Adams' photographs, and talk about how I reproduced them.
