Re: [Digital BW] Re: B&W Conversion Techniques

2008-01-24 by Steve and Ann Taylor

Another program that uses a color wheel to select your filter when doing a  
conversion to B&W is Picture Windows Pro which is only $90. It is,  
however, only a Windows program, but it can be run in Linux under Wine. I  
don't know anything about running it on a Mac.

It is a different style of user interface than PS, much more intuitive and  
more photographer friendly in my opinion. But for $90, it is a very  
capable program and you can try it for 30 days for free to see if you like  
it.
