Digital BW, The Print

Really, if something makes a task easier for you it is worth it.  For 
me, with *only* 25+ years of tradition B&W experience ;) the Channel 
mixer seemed immediately intuitive after only reading about it in a 
PS for photographers book... but that is just me. 

The starting point doesn't seem so important to me since I have to 
iterate on all three sliders to get a *good* photo on screen.  In 
gerenal I spend about 30 seconds with the channel mixer and then a 
minute or tow with the Curve adjustment and I am there... and I am 
certainly no PS-pro.

Actually, it was my perceived ease of using the Channel Mixer that 
got me to buy a digital camera in the first place... I shot 
everything as if I had B&W film in there... which is good since I can 
only print B&W:)

hope you are having as much fun with your tools as I am with mine:)
