I think that the best plug-in for BW conversion is the power-retouche
maid by I-forget-who...
it does a much better jod that the miranda, or silver oxide, and it has
a orthochromatic setting. It works great, and is subtle, and does not
degrade the image like many of the others do. Especially in the
reds.....it is about 75 bucks i think. maybe cheaper....Doug M
