Rob, there is a way to do it there, too. I’m trying to remember where it is though – perhaps a layer that lets you adjust the relative level of different color channels and which has a “monochrome” check box or similar? I used to do it that way with decent success.
(Sorry, but I don’t have CS2 installed anymore… and my brain can’t afford to use up scarce memory space remembering how to run software I don’t have any more! :-)

Ah, I’m stuck in CS2 still. Thanks for the info.
Thanks, Rob.
Yes, it is a converted digital image from a shot made with my 5D and (IIRC) the 24-105mm f/4 L lens.
I do my conversions in Photoshop CS3, using the new “black and white” layer tool, usually followed by some adjustments to curves and some dodging and burning.

This image leads me to ask a question: Is this a converted digital image? I ask because, if it is, your conversion technique is superb.
