Convert to B/W Pro is a plug-in for Photoshop to control the
conversion process from color to B&W (grayscale).

> Convert to B/W Pro is a Photoshop plug-in which enables you to
> control the color to black & white conversion of digital images. It
> mimics the processes of conventional black & white photography. It
> is aimed at advanced photographers or digital imaging specialists
> who are familiar with analogue B&W photography techniques such as
> pre-filtering, Kodak TRI-X color response and Ilford multigrade
> exposure.
>
> In conventional B&W photography colored lens filters are used to
> disguise unwanted color differences (such as red spots in skintone
> for example), or dampen/enhance certain contrast differences (such
> as blue skies with white clouds for example). Convert to B/W Pro 2
> allows you to select an arbitrary color for pre-filtering a digital
> color image.
>
> Sepia tones can be added to the final result if required. The two
> most commonly used sepia tones are available through the popup-menu,
> but you can select an arbitrary color and intensity by clicking the
> colorpatch and moving the intensity slider as required.

Compatibility
Architecture: PPC (Carbonized) x86 (Windows)

This plug-in is for PPC Mac and Windows versions of Photoshop.

Version 2.01 Tested working OK in CS 1, Mac OS X 10.4.11 (+ Rosetta in
10.6.8) and with Photoshop 6 in Mac OS 9.2.2

Notes for SheepShaver:
As the version 2.01 plug-in is contained inside of a Carbon package,
it likely requires Mac OS 9.1 and later in the package form. However,
it is possible use it in SheepShaver by removing the classic component
from the package and use that with earlier versions of the Mac OS. -
I've tested this method as working OK with Photoshop 6 in Mac OS 8.6 +
CarbonLib 1.4, on SheepShaver.

 * Known issues and incompatibilities:
   * (v2.01) Occasionally a slider will not update its values when first selected using the mouse followed by immediate dragging. In this case, briefly release the mouse, then resume dragging.

   * The Macintosh zip compressed archives from theimagingfactory are not compatible with the Mac OS X built-in zip tool. They were archived with a zip tool such as [ZipIt][1], which uses MacBinary when creating zip files. They will decompress incorrectly if using the built-in Mac OS X zip utility to unzip. - For best results use StuffIt Expander (or ZipIt) to extract.
