[Leica] BW Plugin Question

[nathan.wajsman at planet.nl (Nathan Wajsman)]

I too have started to use this plugin extensively, and I am very pleased 
with the results. B.D. has given me some tips on how to enhance the 
contrast a bit in Photoshop after the initial conversion using the 
Miranda plug-in to give the images a bit more of the "real B&W" look. I 
am sure that all the actions performed by the plug-in could be 
replicated manually in Photoshop, but I have no patience to learn about 
channel mixer, layers and all of that. I just want good images and that 
is what I am getting with this.
