Digital BW, The Print

Hello-

Due to the type of photography I sometimes do, I have used color neg 
for quite some time. Going digital, at this time is not an option. 
However, I always have been asked to supply both b&w and color, so I 
have had to come up with creative ways to meet this request. The 
computer came to the rescue. As far as the b&w goes, I found Russell 
Browns technique to be quite useful. See for yourself at 
www.russellbrown.com, read his tip "seing in black & white". The tip 
is not specific to color neg or slide, but the end result is b&w.
