I have a colour photo which i converted to black and white. I would
prefer it to be "moss and white" ie, green, or sepia or some other
colour.

How do i do this in photoshop?

It spelled "color", not "colour". British English is dead.

Hope this helps,

So America is right, and 53 other countries are wrong ?

While we are on the subject, perhaps somebody should point out that
'Metre' is a unit of meausre, whereas 'Meter' is a measuring
instrument. As far as I know, America is a memebr of the
International Standards Organistaion.

Do try and keep up...

Before somebody flames me - I have just spotted the typoe... It should be
'Organisation' ;-



You mean besides, "memebr?" G That is correct?

Since the organization you refer to doesn't exist; and the one
you meant has nothing to do with defining/maintaining the metric
system, it is all fairly moot.

You are correct - As an electronics engineer for the past 30 years, I should
have known this. The Metre is an SI unit and is defined by Le Bureau
International des Poids et Mesures in France.

I could never work out why the International Organization for
Standardization (Their spelling, not mine) should use the initials ISO
instead of IOS.

In any case, usenet is for sharing and communication so critique
or even noting of people's spelling errors, typos and grammatical
errors is usually not good form, esp. as many posters are not
posting in their mother tongue.. Grammar so poor as to confuse
or obfuscate the message can be open season.

Again you are correct and I would normally refrain from correcting somebody
who may use English as a second language. Having said that, I do take
exception to Orville Wright stating that 'colour' is incorrect and that
'British English' is dead.

(The other day I wrote a curt letter to the Washington post.
They were commenting on Bill Clinton's new 957 page "tomb". I
would have loved to have your "spill chucker" line... and yes,
they did correct it (in the online edition) and sent me a terse
"It's corrected" e-mail).

Cheers,
Alan

There is no such thing as "International Standards Organistaion
sic", you meant the International Organization for Standards.
"ISO" is not an acronym, it is a symbol.

Actually, I meant the 'International Organization for Standardization' -
Their spelling, not mine. :-)

Further, ISO does NOT maintain the metric system.

The metric system (Systeme Internationale d'Unités) is
"maintained" by Le Bureau International des Poids et Mesures in
Paris, not the OIS. The US, and 50 other countries in the world
are member states of the BIPM and support it n various ways
including participation by various US agencies in the CGPM's
(meetings every few years) various committees.

The US was one of the earliest signatories to the SI (1875).
(Surprise!). However, the US reserved the right to allow
merchants to continue the use of Imperial (and Imperial like)
measures for commerce. The US Armed Forces have been greatly
metricized for decades for scientific as well as NATO
interopperability reasons (the Army and Marines most so, the Air
Force and Navy less so).

The use of metric is, by US law, the preferred system:

'Organisation' ;-

Plus "memebr" should be "member".

And "typoe" should be "typo".

:-)

No doubt some Merkin will tell you that "Organisation"
should have the s replaced by a z.

;-)

As a "Merkin" (My fellow Merkins...old joke on LBJ) who insists on spelling
the neutral color between white and black as "grey" rather than "gray" as my
spell check insists, either way will be just fine...

No problem, and do take a seat. But also, try to work out
where the Caps key is.

e.e.cummings is out of fashion.

(Yes, I know, you have no idea what I mean...

Presumably it's easier to pronounce ISO than IOS - although Canon seem to
have no problem using a similarly spelt word for one of their products!

It may be a language issue. eg. NATO is OTAN in some european countries.

From their own site http://www.iso.org/ :

"Because "International Organization for Standardization" would have
different abbreviations in different languages ("IOS" in English, "OIN" in
French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), it was decided
at the outset to use a word derived from the Greek isos, meaning "equal".
Therefore, whatever the country, whatever the language, the short form of
the organization's name is always ISO."

Iso, in Greek, means 'equal'. Standardization.
I do take
exception to the troll stating that 'colour' is incorrect and that
'British English' is dead.

I'm in Canada where 'colour' is the generally accepted spelling
(as is 'grey' v. 'gray', etc.); however the influence of the US
is very strong here in this communications age. It is ironically
worse here in Quebec as French Canadians are very strongly
influenced by the US...
