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

That's it! The Russel Brown method is the one I spoke about in my  
initial post but I didn't remember where I got it from. Just a note  
here, in Russels version the only way to make any changes on the  
Filter adjustment layer is to adjust the lightness of each color. The  
saturation has little or no effect. Now, if you look at Clayton's  
version, instead of an extra H/S layer, he uses a Channel Mixer  
adjustment layer. When used with a H/S adjustment layer below it, you  
can control the tones for each color with all three sliders in the H/ 
S...Hue, Saturation and Lightness. Goooo Clayton. I think you should  
march right into Russels office at Adobe and lay down the facts! LOL!
