I don't use Photoshop, but I find that some of the tips people write up are translatable to The Gimp. I've learned quite a bit reading Photoshop tutorials. Thanks for the pointer to Unsharp Masked.

It is a difference in mindset. Shooting slower will force you to give more effort to each photo and they will therefore be better in the end. It is a difference in mindset.

I just started out in photography 2 years ago when I got a DSLR. I did have a Pentax K1000 and two lenses, and decided to give B&W film a try. I love the results. For me, it's really different than digital. With digital, I'm much more apt to shoot lots of pictures, moving slightly here, there, zooming in, zooming out, etc. With film, I'm extremely aware that each trip of the shutter costs me money in the immediate future. Also, the K1000 is a fully manual camera, save an exposure meter (center weighted, I believe). While I shoot almost exclusively in manual on my DSLR, everything just seems slower on the Pentax. It's a nice, relaxing way for me to shoot. I still don't have a great solution for the scans, processing, etc. Only time will tell how far I'll go with this. I’ve been dabbling in film myself.
