Thanks Gianfranco! I use the channel mixer in PS, with 25%, 35% and 40% for R, G and B respectively. I had found these values by observation, but then I downloaded Petteri Sulonen's actions from here: http://194.100.88.243/petteri/pont/How_to/n_Digital_BW/n_Digital_BW/a_Digital_Black_and_White.html?page=7 In case that link s too long: http://tinyurl.com/6gwcy Those actions include a few to convert to BW trying to emulate different films. Then the "prepare darkroom" action sets a few layers that are useful for tweaking th tonality, dodging/burning, etc. I always do a batch low res conversion of the raw images (my "contact sheet"), at 1024 pixels horizontal res. My web pictures are from there. I only go back to the original raw files when printing or when a photo requires special treatment. Thanks again for looking.
