Digital BW, The Print

Mark,
I don't find it a serious stretch to address file issues when the end results will be a b/w image.  Everyone that I know that understands half of what they are doing shot in color and convert the image into an RGB b/w image.  If not, then they get what they deserve.  That said, this is a issue of problems found in working with the digital negative, so to speak, for that what the original captured image is.  If this was a traditional film based forum, then this questions wouldn't be raised.

But, if it makes you feel better, then I'll mark it OT.  Okay? Mike
