Control 1 = red channel, Control 2 = green, Control 3 = blue (which can be programmed to show the primary colour JPEG as a grayscale picture as seen though a Red, Green, or Blue filter. To preserve the grayscale JPEG, chosen from one of RGB, you must go image > mode > grayscale and answer "okay" when asked if you want to discard the other channels. This is now clear to me and how I worked in Photo 7 when I had the program set to show the primary colours - not the gray conversions. Sorry for the off topic subject - but I was converting Canon 5D images cut with Leica lenses so behind it all there is some Leica content. :-) Howard (happier now in Hong Kong) Begin forwarded message: > From: Howard Cummer <cummer@netvigator.com> > Date: February 18, 2006 7:30:02 PM GMT+08:00 > To: lug@leica-users.org > Subject: Photoshop CS 2 question - Saving JPEGs to B&W (OT) > > Dear Luggers, > I need help.
