Tim, I love that duotone image!
To the subject at hand again.
IMHO B&W is not something I try in PP, altho that is indeed a very valid approach and I don't mean any disrespect to any that do.
When I do convert in PP, it is because I *saw* the image that way to begin with.
When I shot with film, it was almost exclusively B&W.
When first I got a decent digital camera and the instant feedback, I started *seeing* far more in color.
It wasn't until I got the GRD that I started doing any real amount of monochrome, for the reasons I mention earlier in this thread.
Which by the way is a *capital idea*
Brava Cam!
And DPI is a very very nice place to chat on these subject.
