Takes practice, just like in the wet darkroom;°) Desaturation and grey-scale should give you about the same thing; Johnny will have to say what he did. Channel mixing to a monochrome gives a hulluvalotta control over how the monochrome will look. Still, as you can tell from my previous comments, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I liked the original color better than the combined one, but still prefer the monochrome. Tim S.
