Digital BW, The Print

Darryl - I think it's a question of what you are used to.  If you've shot
b&w film for many years and are used to anticipating the way it will
translate things into monochrome, then it is probably best to keep shooting
film and scan it.  But if b&w is relatively new to you and you're good at
scanning slides, then I'd suggest sticking with Photoshop and getting to
know the various means of converting to black and white.  Many have been
discussed here; you'll find them in the archives.

Good luck!
