My most often used B&W conversion method is to convert the image to LAB, remove the A & B channels, leaving you with only the L channel… Works like a charm.

What a great explanation. With your permission, I’d like to make reference to this and share it with other amateur photographers. Looking forward to other insights from you.

Excellent article. It really takes the mystery out of using the channel mixer. I’m familiar with the tool, but really needed this explanation of how, for example, using a high green value will result in green patches being lighter, etc.
