Hi all. I have some colour photos which have good dramatic skies. I would like to convert them into monochrome and get the effect of using a red filter with B&W film. You obviously get that with the red channel and I
have
tried printing just the red channel but id doesn’t look right. How can I convert to B&W and keep the best contrast in the sky?
Andrew.

Use the Channel Mixer. There is a really good tutorial out there somewhere (search google.com for "channel mixer" infrared [use the quotes around channel mixer and infrared outside them] to get a few. If memory serves adjust Red to full, Green to 0, and then lower Blue until you get the look you want in the clouds and sky. Oh Monochrome has to be enbled of course.

Take care,
Linda.
