Colin,

Thank you for that information.

It was the click on the green box which threw me off.  I knew I had stumbled
across this function early on using PW but could not find it.  Frustrating
knowing it was there and not being to find it.  I have now installed this in
my workflow and will be eternally grateful.

I am unable to compare with PS as I use Elements and currently use the two
layer saturation method of B/W conversion which is tedious and clumsy.  This
and certain other PWP methods seem superior to Elements.
