Cool info. I have Photoshop and have made a few conversions using the channel mixer(thanks be to the recent thread), but didn't know about the adjustment layer. Thanks..I must try this now :-) I realize this post is about converting from color to b/w, but I have a somewhat relevant question. I was wondering...I can set my digital camera to take b/w pictures. Would this be the best way to get a b/w image, or would converting w/the computer result in a better, as good, or not as good image. I am guessing the camera would be faster, but probably not quite as good because the camera's processing is prob. not as accurate as Photoshop for converting color to b/w. TY -Jeff
