I came across this plug-in the other day - I think Mike Johnston mentioned it in one of his columns/rants. I checked it out and was impressed with it for a number of reasons, in part because it will work on 16-bit TIF and PSD files, it works for Mac and PC's (different versions), allows you to adjust exposure for both the "negative" and the "print", allows the use of contrast filters, and it has some other neat features as well. I've only used it for a few test images thus far, but based on what I've seen it's definitely something to consider. It's intuitive to use, although may be easier for someone who has a solid background working with conventional B&W films, but even a novice should be able to get good results after a time with just a trial and error approach.
Look for the 30 day free trial download for "ConvertToBW Pro" here: http://www.theimagingfactory.com/download/ I'd love to hear your comments. Shel
