Digital BW, The Print

I think that the best plug-in for BW conversion is the power-retouche 
maid by  I-forget-who...
it does a much better jod that the miranda, or silver oxide, and it has 
a orthochromatic setting. It works great, and is subtle, and does not 
degrade the image like many of the others do. Especially in the 
reds.....it is about 75 bucks i think. maybe cheaper....Doug M
