Subject: [Leica] B/W conversion tutorial

In-camera conversions usually look flat. Best to use Photoshop. The best
results come from plugins like Silver Efx, Alienskin Exposure, DxO
Filmpack, and Topaz BW Effects. My favorite is Topaz, and it is also the
least expensive at about $60.

If you don?t want to buy a plugin, I have a video tutorial that I made
showing how to do it in Photoshop with good results:
