Digital BW, The Print

I find that using the channel mixer often exaggerates the grain since
you're basically deleting lots of information from other channels. I
prefer to create masks based on the various colors, do a normal convert
to grayscale and then using adjustment layers with the masks I created
previously.

This is mostly useful if you need to make more extreme adjustments to
your images.
