Okay.....this is the first filter of a works-in-progress B&W series that converts color images, does correction, and offers various methods for soft lens/blur effects......

I've already enhanced this filter for users to more easily address the "muddiness" than comes with color-to-B&W conversion.....and will be updated in the library by Monday morning......along with the submission of more B&W filters in this series.....

Thanx guys smile:) I've just enhanced this filter for much better conversion, control, and added several other softening/blur modes. I'm planning to submit three versions of it......"B&W Modes"....."B&W RGB Filter Shift"......and "B&W Professional". The last one has fully manual control over over 12 color filter divisions of RGB.....with luminosity parametrs centering around Red filtration at 59%, Green at 30%, and blue at 11% (where the human eye sees the most depth in B&W).....

Is interesting, how does that translate to a grey scale in percentages smile:)

The RGB hues, and combinations there of, convert percentages of the corresponding hues into greyscale. The percentages must add up to 100% to keep the overall tone consistent with the original color image.....whereby red hue filtration at 59%, green at 30%, and blue at 11% is where the human eye sees the best depth in B&W.....

I grabbed them because they were are all completely royalty-free, unrestricted images.....but rather to be safe than sorry, I wouldn't use any of them in any other capacity beyond how I'm using them here.....

Do a web search with "Royalty-free photographs" and you should find them all.....in addition to millions of others that you may like.....and I'll see you in about a year when you get done searching through all of them..... smile;) smile:D
