[Leica] IMG: LR Conversion

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

BD,
I checked out True Grain on its website, and not having it as a plugin for
Photoshop is a PITA, and adds a clunky step into the workflow.

Nevertheless, I am planning to give it a whirl. Am I right in surmising
that it mimics the look of various legacy B&W films, but does not do
detailed B&W conversion from colour master digital files?

Cheers
Jayanand
