I like the effect it has. I'm always looking for a good B&W conversion. I hate relying on actions for everything. Thanks for sharing your technique! I like the effect it has.

The reason I did it on that step was that I was going to be creating blurred layers overtop and merging and/or masking. This was the last thing I was going to be doing on that particular layer.<br/><br/>Use the unsharp tool to sharpen... yeah, I never quite got that either. Good catch on the sharpening, Harley.

Have you tried the Black & White filter on CS3? I used to use the channel mixer a lot, but I've put it to the wayside since the B&W filter came along. It just gives you a little more control over the tones, but it's handy overall.<br/><br/>When I'm doing black & white, I'll usually throw in a couple of low-fill blends to give the photo a little more depth. But all this depends on the photo and the feel you're going for. Not sure if it would work well in this one.<br/><br/>I think you've done a great job with this photo -- real smooth with soft transitions, and the lighting is just great! Nice work, and thanks for sharing. Well done. Have you tried the Black & White filter on CS3? I used to use the channel mixer a lot, but I’ve put it to the wayside since the B&W filter came along.

I think you’ve done a great job with this photo — real smooth with soft transitions, and the lighting is just great! Nice work, and thanks for sharing.
