[Leica] B/W conversion

[Ken Carney]

Another option is TrueGrain, a stand-alone program 
(grubbasoftware.com).  It uses the grain from blank scanned film stock, 
as opposed to digital grain.  Here are some from one of San Francisco's 
ritzier areas last month, converted from raw files in TrueGrain as TX 
Pro.  There are a number of adjustments for spectral response, dynamic 
range and grain.
