Digital BW, The Print

I believe the color contrast filter and the film type sliders of Convert BW 
Pro require color layers in order to be effective - once all three layers 
are equal in density (which I believe is the case once the image is in 
grayscale) there is nothing for the color contrast filter or "film type" 
selector to differentiate between the layers.  The exposure and contrast 
sliders probably would still work, but to preserve the full utility of 
Convert BW Pro you probably would need to stick with your option 1 rather 
than use option 3.

Cheers,
