mind to share the method?

1) channel mixer
2) contrast

[JackJack]

those picture are nice

is all the picture with same setting of CM and contrast?

[sinister]

For std default it's 60/30/10

I use 70/30

But now i understand.. d value depends on d type of colours u have.. if u have a lot of red and u want to show d tone in B&W.. u make sure there is more red

B&W without much shadows and highlights make the pictures flat. The last picture is the most suitable for conversion. Nice.

ok thanks nordin.. need to remember that ...shadows and highlight
