Thanks to all who commented. By the way, this BW conversion was done the fast and easy way: A simple mode change to grayscale followed by adjustment of the tonal range in curves. In that this simple procedure allows complete control of tonal range and that any more elaborate method takes you to the same place -- grayscale -- I fail to see the need for elaborate "recipes." I mentioned some of these elaborate procedures to a professional photo retoucher a couple of weeks ago. She simply said, "That's all a lot of bullshit for people with too much time on their hands." That being said, I sometimes use the channel mixer because it's fun. But I don't think it's necessary. Paul
