---------------------
I have used much of Clayton's methods, but I too have kept my images 
in the RGB format and no longer convert to greyscale. The aRBG to ABW 
conversion seems to work very well and using an RGB file allows me to 
use PixelGenius's PhotoKit Sharpener which only works on RGB files. So 
now all my color and B/W work stays in aRGB and things seem simpler. I 
use "Convert to B&W pro" for my color to B&W change.

Hope these comments are useful.
