ACR to convert to B&W

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Why not do this? Isn't this equally as capable as using the dual hue
saturation layers in PS? If it isn't, what's different about it? Any
advantages or disadvantages? Flexibility? (I don't know, I'm just
asking!)

Thanks, Brian

Of course, later in the game you can use channel mixer instead.

If you need to get better B&W effects, I suggest this:

First, use channel mixer (on a layer) and see if that gets you the
effect you want. Check the "monochrome" box.

IF you can't think in RGB, then use a desaturate layer, and put photo-
filter layers under it. That way you can do a yellow filter or
something and get more or less the same effect you would shooting with
it.
