Vincent Versace presented a technique for converting color images to B&W at an Epson seminar that I attended. I didn’t get good notes and would like to try his technique. Does anyone know the technique? Thanks.

I don’t know his technique, but mine is with the Channel Mixer tool. Click Monochrome, and then adjust the levels for red, green, and blue. This way is the best for rich images, I learned about it in Photoshop User. A very handy magazine, but not cheap.

That technique doesn’t give you much ‘room’ to play with. There are two other tech’s on the Russell Brown site that work very nice.
