This should be a quick question. I was wondering how to go about using a Red Filter for black & white photography. I picked one up this weekend and noticed a HUGE difference if I took the picture in RGB (regular mdoe) then converted to b&w in Photoshop as opposed to taking the picture using the b&w setting in the camera. The pictures taken in RGB mode have very little contrast. Am I supposed to take the picture using the b&w setting? Should I be seeing a difference at all? The reason I ask is because the only way to use that setting is in SP mode which is all automatic.

Suggestions welcomed!

I jused a red filter on that one, very cheap thing though, just took a red light filter from a theatre in town an held it in front of the IXUS I was using.

I took it in color mode and added the B&W effect by using "channel mixer" in PS, I selected green channel and ticked in the "monochrome" field.

just adjust your things and feel good men.
