Re: [Digital BW] Convert color to BW techniques

You have asked one of the questions that seems to come up time and time
again on this forum and leads to endless arguments about which technique or
programme is best.  Take a look through the archives for a thorough
discussion.  Having followed all the postings in previous discussions of the
topic, the technique that I like and use because I believe it gives you the
best control is the "split channels" approach developed by Glenn Mitchell.
I believe he (finally) had his pdf discussion of this technique added to the
list's archives.
