You can watch it change as you move the colors around till you get the best separation in all areas. Should make for quite a black and white revival. And people who because of digital had started doing color will go back to black and white or do a whole more of it. Like me for instance. Two ways of doing it. In the raw thing it actually changed it to a grayscale file with all the color sliders. And then if you didn't do that once in Photoshop under the Image - adjustments - black and white. I cant figure out which is the better way to fly. I'm not sure if printing grayscale files is viable or not. Seems like I've don't it lately and it worked out fine.
