Phil,

I do not allow the internet near my PC at home and do not have 
Picture Window installed on my PC at the office.  Hence the delay in 
responding.  Steps as follows with Picture Window Pro 3.1 which I 
trust have not changed in the new version.

Transformation
Color
Monochrome
Click on Green Box

A `Preview' black and white window should appear top right and a 
filter color cube to the left of centre.  You can see the original 
color image to the left and so can compare side by side following:

With this `Preview' window, 
`Window' on top bar
Zoom 1:1
Again `Window'
Fit 

If you then left mouse click anywhere in the cube you get the mix of 
RGB for that location – or other value systems - with the numbers in 
the panel below.   You get infinitely variable, instant feedback.  
Far superior, in my view, to Photoshop.

When you have what you like click `Apply' and a new `Untitled' image 
appears which you can save to load in the editor of your choice.

If you want you can use the numbers to enter into Photoshop's Channel 
Mixer.

I'd be interested in your opinion.
