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

Marco,

What you stated is what Reichmanm basically is saying. That's why I 
posted the question. I wanted others to confirm what Michael was 
saying.

Personally, I have never used anything but Nikon Capture and CS2 to 
convert to Grayscale. Always looking for something better, I 
guess. :>)

Thanks for your thoughts, Marco.
