Digital BW, The Print

Serena:  IMHO and experience, basically converting from RGB to b&w doesn't
work.  You can use channel mixer, silveroxide, Nic, or whatever but it's not
the same as using b& film to begin with.  The exception seems to be using a
digital camera for infrared b&w, which I do, and converting to b&w via
channel mixer.  But, infrared is pretty surreal to begin with.
