I took these shots yesterday for a non-profit art studio. The
subjects are all autistic adults taking art lessons. At any rate, the
shots are B&W, and they came off of the camera looking all blue and
grey - very mushy. I tried to process with this in mind, and ended up
adding a warming filter in CS2 at about 13% - 18%. Anyway, do these
look usable? Not in a commercial sense, but for a benefit, blown up
to around 18x24...

Thx,

They look OK, but why did you choose B/W for candid portraits?
Had you taken them in color you would have had the option of editing
them in color or grayscale.

They were shot in RAW, so by default, they are in color. However, the
staff wanted B&W.
