Question about this for all. 

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...

I agree totally.? 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.
