My understanding is that if you shoot?RAW?you have the color chanels available to you. Then when you "convert" to BW in LR or CS, you can use the color chanel sliders to give the same effect as if you added?colored filters in front of BW film. If you shoot BW .jpg you do not have that info therefore cannot apply this "filter" technique. Is that right? Thanks, Bob P.S. - I?only shoot?RAW also for the reasons others have stated... ?Bob Adler Palo Alto, CA http://www.raflexions.com ________________________________ From: Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 6, 2009 11:04:52 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] B&W on M8.2...

I tried shooting B&W jpegs along with RAW photos in one of my M8's but doing both slowed the camera down too much.? If you have to choose between jpeg and RAW, there is no choice.? RAW is your negative.? You can do anything with it. Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
