Thanks, enjoyed reading that!!!!
Interesting article.
I myself, was taught at a very early age how to view things in Black and White.
What makes a good Black and White you may ask? Ilford film.
Thank you for the link.

This is a most interesting article. One of the problems I have had with conversions is that for many years I shot b&w film and did everything in the optical darkroom. When I began to use conversions now the tonalities were not the same. It took me some time to adapt and still I am not entirely satisfied with my conversions.
Software, like those from Topaz and Nik have made life easier for the digital b&w worker. I tend to add a little bit of warmth to my images to simulate the results I was used to see when using Agfa fiber base paper.
I hope someday I will be near as good (no pun intended) as I was when I was working with b&w film.
Ruth Bernhardt told me once "if you can't make it bigger or or more important, don't push the button" Ansel Adams said "if it's not in your head when you take the image, you'll never get it on paper".
Is that really the case today?
A photo should be black and white if it was shot prior to 1960.
Thanks for a very useful article. Much appreciated.
