Alastair, you are  of course correct that there is a way, with PS and enough 
expertise, to fix anything.  However, the average
photographer, is screwed.  If you have a lot of images that have gone 
astray, it is time wasted to save a few bucks for a filter you
should have bought to begin with.

B+W is worse because the color shift is a much more subtle shift in tonal 
values.  There are no clues that your values are wrong.
But at least you can say that the B+W image is the way you saw it, and 
previsualization comments can save your bacon.   And a
slightly darker or lighter black shirt is still tonally grey in B+W.

Bottom line is to stop griping, and go buy the &^$&=^ filters.

Frank, I understand your comments and agree with them, but with photoshop,
there are ways to fix the issue.
