I think the subject says it — what are your tips or tools for getting that "red filter + B&W film" look, starting with a digital color image?

I played around with a scenic, lots of blue sky, no clouds; reflecting pond in front of mountain.
Step 1 was selecting the sky with the magic wand tool. Select|Similar to add to selection.
Step 2 was copying the ‘sky’ to a layer. Layer|New|Layer via copy. Step 3 was unstaturating both layers. Image|Adjustment|Desaturate Step 4 was Layer|Adjustments|Brightness/Contrast. "-80" pleased my eye; sky was darker than the "real" B&W + red filter.

I had trouble with areas in branches against the sky, and the sky/treeline in the reflection.
Others may have simply used Mode = Grayscale, or one of the other methods to remove color.
I had taken the color shot with color slide film, and was able to compare the same shot taken with B&W print film.

I also had trouble with halos along the sky/land interface. Feathering selections may have helped. Or extracting the mountain….

Channel Mixer set to Monochrome. The different sliders will simulate different filters.

Thanks for the different flavors of very helpful responses. These have all been cool to play around with, and Fred Miranda gives me something to shoot for in my tinkering :).
