I have been using it for a while.  All the steps are given in the www.gormanphotography.com 
site under the heading "Learn."  I find that the blending layer (layer 1) at an opacity of 55 to 
60 in the Gorman B&W Conversion gets me pretty close to what I want in shadows/highlites 
in a B&W print.  

One thing that I do not like is that I have to do any cloning that I need to do it before the 
conversion.  Of course, I could have screwed up some thing in the action.
