Black & white conversion: a second update (21-11-2004)

DIGIDAAN B&W ACTION VERSION 2.0
The core of the action is unchanged: the big improvement is that the adjustment layers are named and placed in a layer set so that multiple images can easily be converted with a simple drag-and-drop move. Also the end of the action offers the menu with the slider for the adjustment, convenient on-screen. This is as easy as it gets, I guess...

The secret of a good conversion is having full control over how RGB-values get converted into grayscale-luminosities. The conversion I am about to describe gives that control, much more than the ChannelMixer.
A full version of Adobe Photoshop, that can work with Adjustment Layers (ver. 5.0 and higher), is required.

The good old ChannelMixtures are still available: they can be found here
