I had intended to keep my mouth shut on the subject, but couldn't help it.
Sorry!

If it were so, there'd be no difference between pictures in bw and colour.
Much to some peoples' dismay - and most unfortunately - coulour pictures
just aren't bw.

ps
It's pretty basic, actually - and was pointed out earlier BTW (although in
different words) that bw pictures <enhance the graphic qualities> of photos.


There's a clinical psychology thesis in here somewhere.  B&W vs colour,
Leica vs Nikon, Mac vs PC, Kodak vs Fuji, Ford vs GM, Windows vs Linux.
Every, newsgroup, mailing list and local pub has an argument of this sort
simmering away: must be some deep rooted evolutionary need to belong to a
tribe or something.

Anyway...

Your film, camera, computer, car is crap.  Mine rocks!
