Digital BW, The Print

Hello Donald,

Something else to consider, I use a Canon Pro-1 which has the BW
option and also captures in RAW mode, which I use almost exclusively.
When shooting RAW the color info is preserved in BW mode.  The Pro-1,
not being a DSLR, has a tilt-twist preview screen which I use like a
miniature view camera.  So I shoot in BW mode, which allows me to view
and compose the scene in BW, which I like very much.  When I do raw
conversion I restore the color so I can have full control in the
Color-to-BW conversion in PS.  So it's the best of both worlds.  

Working in the field with a tripod and a miniature view camera that
"sees" in BW is quite an experience.  In January I spent a few days in
Death Valley Nat'l Park working that way and loved it.  Got some
excellent photos.

Regards,
Clayton
