Graham, I usually prefer to use Nik Silver-Efex in CS4 to make my B&W conversions. Alternatively I use Lightroom during raw conversion. In the latter, you can convert using 8 separate colour sliders - same as Adobe Camera Raw.
I have not used ACDSee in many years and am not familiar with more current versions.

Ah. I meant to ask you, what software are you using to work with your RAW images?
Also, do you use ACDSee at all?

Graham, so sorry to hear about your illness! I guess my joking was not appropriate! I will be happy to drop you an email line in the next few days.
Perhaps your daughter will take up the photography tradition. You will have to teach her!

Sorry for the tardy reply, Graham. I have not been able to check all my email notices. To answer your question: It is immaterial, if using RAW (NEF) files whether one shoots B&W or colour. However, if shooting in JPG then the die is cast one way or the other. Since I shoot NEF files, the B&W conversion is made in raw conversion or post processing. I make a good quality colour version and then convert to B&W and follow up with tonal adjustments.

Did you shoot this in B&W or convert it from color?

Dear Eb
Ah, no, not dead. Just almost. I'm afraid my health issues crept upon me earlier than anticipated - about 20 years too early! I have been touch-and-go for the past two years but am now mobile again. Sort of. Several surgeries have taken their toll.
Alas, my photography I fear is a thing of the past. I now only take pictures of my daughter, who turns 4 next month! Amazing how time flies, eh? Still, I have 30,000+ images to give to her one day.
If you'd like, I can still be reached at gramargh@gmail.com (my Outlook did not archive your old email address).
I look forward to hearing from you again. Perhaps we can swap old "war stories" and YOU can teach ME a thing or two now!
Regards
Graham

Graham! I'll be darned..., I gave you up fer ded! But certainly not forgotten! You were kind enough to remind me of what photography is about - 5 years ago! Although I still do continue to struggle with myself and others on that subject!
Alas, I do not publish very much on usefilm because I do have a high output and get discouraged when I can't find the time to reciprocate on the comments!
I will happily take your words of encouragement, and if old friends resume publishing on usefilm, so certainly shall I.
Eb

Hi Eb, long time no hear/see!
I am blown away - the quality of your imagery has increased a googleplex. Now, without doubt, yours are some of the very finest images here. Simply beautiful.
Well done and keep them coming. I knew I could smell potential genius . . . 5 years ago, now?
Congrats on the award, too. There should be MANY more!
I will not comment other than to say ALL of your pictures are breathtaking and I hope you are proud of them all!
Graham
