AFTER BANGING AROUND TRYING DIFFERENT METHODS OF COLOR>BW CONVERSION, I have discovered / come to the conclusion that the Sanpseed app BW conversion tool is very good. And, surprise, surprise (not), just the mere selection of the tool does the job...no sliders / adjustments / diddling around, the default conversion, aka: neutral, is the just easy-as-pie ticket. And, with a tiny bit of after the fact fine tuning, it looks good to me.
ASIDE "AFTER BANGING AROUND TRYING DIFFERENT METHODS OF COLOR>BW CONVERSION", it felt rather like banging my head against a wall.
On a different topic, I will mention in passing (pun) that 2 long-time photo blogs have folded up their tents and are passing into the great beyond. Those would be The Visual Science Lab-which should have been more accurately named, My Cameras and Gear Obsession Blather and Ming Thein.
Neither site will be missed by me. Re: The Visual Science Lab...even though I did visit it on a fairly regular basis, it was more a matter of idle curosity cuz the site never offer much in the way of good pictures but, on the other hand, you had to give the author credit for being sucessful in making a good living. No easy feat over the long run. Re: the Ming Thein site...I have never been interested in sites that peddle / sell advice on the topic of making good pictures. So, it never caught, much less held, my attention.
That written, time marches on and a once thriving scene of good photo sites has slowly started to fade into irrelevance or flat out disinterest.
