....a color filter, similar to filters put on the lens for black and white photography ( red, yellow, green, blue), will PS give the same/similar effects?

Sort of...
If you like Filter Sims check out the free Opanda Photo Filter. Tries to simulate popular hoya/kodak/cokin filters. |

OPanda doesn't seem to work. Or, I can't make it work.
Is there any other opinions?

Yes, if you use a "red filter" it gives similar results to a red filter in B/W. Opanda ought to work. It always worked for me. CS3 has filters in the image/adjust/BW menu, and they work too.

Use channel mixer; that's all the filters do. All red channel = dark red filter. All blue channel = dark blue filter. Etc etc. Mix 'em up in proportions to get variations.

| Also, the standard color filters were already there in CS2, if that' what you're using. They are under Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter. They hid 'em. |

Yeah, I knew that, just wanted more info, and knowledge base of possibilities.
Thanks.

I wasn't asking about conversions, but if there is an actual effect when adding colored filters in PS.

So are you asking if "adding a red filter" in photoshop gives the same effect, in color, as mounting a red filter on the lens does for color film? I would think it does, though I've never really tried it. Using a red filter on the lens results in eliminating most of the light received from the not-red portions of the spectrum; the amount eliminated, of course, will depend on just how deep a red the filter is. Using a red filter in photoshop, as far as I can see, does the same thing to the light delivered to your monitor, and you can fade it to alter the "opacity" of the red...
Unless I'm missing something?

BINGO!!
I would think it does as well, but just tried it.
I can not tell yet without doing some testing.
But, I thought I would ask here to see if someone might be more inclined than I am.
Thanks.
