Re: [Digital BW] Anyone using Adobe Lightroom beta for Mono Conversion?

2006-02-14 by Marco Alpert

I've been playing with it for the last few weeks and it's exactly the  
Grayscale Mixer that has me jazzed. I think I've tried almost every  
grayscale conversion technique at one time or another and the  
Grayscale Mixer is a revelation (at least as far as my needs are  
concerned). (And Beta 2 has just been released.)

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
