It would be also very interesting to have some infos on colour management: your colour photos are great!

Markus, I cannot thank you enough for your b/w tutorials.. They are absolutely first rate. For two years I have been trying to get digital bw that doesn't look like crap, and almost gave up. Thanks for not being a greedy one and sharing what works for you, unlike many other photographers who keep their recipes to themselves. I always liked your photos, as well ;)

Very nice. But should'nt they all ad up to 100? And whats the difference between "Normal contrast" and "generic BW"?

Markus wow I am SOOOOOO happy I found this! I am a question that only you would probably have the answer to:
Is there anyway to get a look that would be similar to platinotype platinum/palladium prints for fine art work?

Markus, this really is such a fantastic tutorial - I've been looking for something like this for such a long time.
BTW: I used to have you on MySpace [I deleted the profile a wee while back] I tried finding you again, but no luck, hit me up: www.myspace.com/cornishruss
Thanks.
Keep up the great work!

This is great information, but.....how do I do this in Lightroom ? There I do have a channelmixer for gray, but not with just RGB, but with a lot more colors.....
Mmmz, any idea?
