It has straight "filters" that emulate red, yellow, green, etc. You can also use sliders to increase or decrease any color. Both methods have a thumbnail that shows you the effect. It also lets you tint or color the B&W photo. I often use a minimal coversion to "tobacco" to get a nostaglic, warm scale effect.

That is like having an enormous assortment of B&W filters available to you AFTER the image has been taken. It's a huge advantage to be able to lighten or darken different objects in the picture after you have shot it. Hugely recommended. >> What ones in particular do you highly recommend? Anybody else care to weigh in on this? What are the arguments for/against just shooting everything on color neg, say Kodak 400 UC, and converting to B&W if desired?
