[Digital BW] Re: Grey scale conversion in workflow

Hello Art,

These are good questions but you don't need to ask someone else for
the answers.  Take 3 minutes and do a test and find out first hand. 
Open a color image, convert to mode->grayscale, and save it to a new
filename.

Then reopen the color image, go to channel mixer, monochrome + twiddle
some settings, then convert to mode->grayscale (you'll see whether or
not it changes your settings) and save it to another new filename. 
Then compare the two BW versions and you'll have your
answer.  


Regards,
Clayton
