It might be Staurday today, but that hasn’t stopped Mike Johnston from celebrating the 3rd anniversary of his “Sunday Morning Photographer” with a look at digital black and white using ConvertToBW Pro v.3 from The Imaging Factory.

“There are all sorts of ways to convert a color digital image to B&W. Some cameras have it as a capture option; you can click on “grayscale” in most image-processing programs; and there are various different ways you can do it in Photoshop, such as using Channel Mixer. Then there are a number of freeware, shareware, and commercial applications, several but by no means all of which I’ve tried. This column’s home base is The Luminous Landscape, and thanks to a recent recommendation from Michael Reichmann, the site’s proprietor, called Three Must-Have Photoshop Plug-ins, I got turned on to what I think is a really great one: ConvertToBW Pro v.3.”
