RE: [Digital BW] B/W Filters

If I need to adjust specific colors to a particular density, I do just that.
It was shown to me 4 years or so back at a workshop that I set up for Dan
Burkholder. Works like a charm. Take your pick and run some conversions with
Lightroom or what ever and just lay them on top of each other until you have
all the right elements working like you want. What I like best is to have
separate layers imported so you don't lose your ability to tweak later as
the snap shots can be lost if you don't save a state as a separate file.

The approach is to pre-filter the colour image (in Photoshop) for a
particular section and, if just one, mark it as a history state, or if
more, take snap shots. Then go to the state the satisfies the majority
of the image and by sequentially marking the other states as history,
paint these section back in with the history brush.
