Digital BW, The Print

Guy,
If this didn't already answer your question, go to "Color Settings">"Gray">"Load Gray" 
and load the Gray Lab there. Keep your other settings the same, and you have an 
automatic lab gray when you convert to grayscale. Your color Settings may be slightly 
different, as I use a Mac.
