[Leica] B.D.'s B&W method

[bdcolen at comcast.net (B. D. Colen)]

That's simple, Philippe. Simply 'open' the action in the actions tab, and
change any of the parameters you want to change. I've also saved a version
of the same action, which I call 400 asa w/grain, in which I reduced his
noise setting, but did keep some added noise. Using the additional noise is,
believe it or not, actually helpful at times because it gives you the
uniform look of grain in an image that otherwise has noisy and noise-free
areas.

Best
B. D.
