I'm not trying to correct the colors. I want to try an experiment on the off chance that it'll give me better B&W conversions. I actually don't expect it to work, that's why I want to find some cheap filters to play with. There's a lot to be said for listening to people who know more than you do, but to really learn something, I've found that nothing beats going out and failing miserably on my own. > Don't worry about blowing individual channels.
