Re: [Digital BW] Re: Understanding channel mixer

Here Here!  A voice of sanity on Channel Mixer.  Besides, one may wish 
to
create an image that has tweaked highlights similar to the tonal range 
achieved by using
infrared film; possibly the green channel in such a case will go beyond 
the an exact percentile of contributing its textbook tonal share of 
100.

By the way, for those who use CR in photoshop, by desaturating 
(adjust/sautration) the image using advanced settings, and then
visiting the the calibrate section of CR, all of the sliders in that 
section act very much the same way as the Channel Mixer.
(You can use this if you wish to preordain your color RAW image to b&w 
from the start.  This hint courtesy of Dr. R. Brown.)
