Peter,

This was the Geof's advice when I was beginning in digital, I've  
followed it and even if Capture One make very nice conversions to B&W,  
Silver Efex Pro is much better. Normally I look to the scenes thinking  
in B&W, I'm used with it, sometimes I hesitate when I see the nice  
colors in my monitor, but when I convert it, normally I decide for  
B&W. Thank you very much for your kind comments.

Cheers
Lluis
