Digital BW, The Print

Ken 

I am more trying to understand how the mixer works and what the scales mean.
For most of my B&W conversion I really like using the split channels
approach - being able to Pin Light the blue channel for greater contrast is
quite cool, for example.  I started playing with the dramatic effects that
can be created by mixer if you do, say, 200% red, -50% green, -50% blue.  I
was also using a Channel Mixer Layer over a colour image and reducing the
layer opacity so that some colour crept through.  OK not B&W but very cool.
So it's the conceptual issue of what a slider value of greater than 100% or
less than 0 that was what I was trying to understand.

Thanks

Steve
