IMO, in LR4 Development mode, when you convert a color image to bw via
selecting treatment -> black and white, we get the equivalent of
printing a color negative on BW paper, ie not so good. OTOH, further
down the right hand panel, there's an HSL (hue, saturation, luminance)
panel, if we click B&W there, we can, in effect, create the black and
white image we would have gotten if we could have used any
number/combination of filters with black and white film.

I really don't want the filtered bw film look, rather, I'm just trying
to duplicate the tri-x look, the plus-x look, etc ...  I don't want to
buy Silver Efex yet ... so do any of you guys have some diy presets
you'd care to share?


Man! What a lot of words for a simple idea!
