That should be "as you normally would." If you try to do it as "you
normally wood." you'll be barking up the wrong tree.

Black and white photography doesn't differ from color in exposure
values. Use your cameras metering to obtain a correct exposure as
you normally wood. It's in post processing that you want to convert
to BW. In most applications you can do it with a simple menu
selection, and in some cases that will be adequate. But you can
tweak those results endlessly by utilizing more software control,
such as the channel mixer in PhotoShop. Some Photoshop plug-ins,
like those found on Mark Roberts site will also yield good results.
A simple mode switch to grayscale on PhotoShop can also produce good
results, particularly your follow up includes some curves tweaks. In
brief, there are may ways to go, and there is no mystery involved.
It's easy, and it's often a matter of your being able to judge the
results. Have at it!

The list has done it. I have been looking at all the fantastic
Black & white photos and have had trouble with drool. (Anybody
want to purchase a slightly damp keyboard?)I would like to try some
B&W.
Do I whip out my Gossen and open up 3 stops from white? Is this
something I can do in Raw Processing? (Or should do?) For the
moment, I am sticking with PSE 3 but have kept Raw as up-to-date as
I can. Are these workable for processing.
Or do I buy a roll of Tri-X and a new bottle of Rodinol?
