Thanks John, this was one I converted 100% in Studio and although the conversion and color sensitivity should be a little more refined the fact that you have access to the other Adjustments makes it an interesting proposition … especially using the Curves & HSL where you can change the contrast, hues, saturation, luminance before you do the conversion. Also the use of blending modes on the Adjustments before the B&W Conversion makes for interesting conversion results.
