Alan,

Glad someone found it of use. Unfortunately he (nor do any of the endless
threads here) does not address the basic issue of what happens when you try
to print in B&W. All of the files and examples he shows are presumably 3
channel RGB. I am unclined to agree with his 10 megapixal threshold being
the point where direct digital cature equals or exceeds 35mm color film but
what about B&W? Since the conversion to B&W drops 2/3 of the data the
implication is that to match 35mm B&W you would need 30 megapixal direct
capture.
