hmm... i would assume so since it affects all the pixels in that tonal range.. although i would def get an opinion from an SC if i were you.

Perfectly fine... :-)
Not sure it's the best way to greyscale, but it is legal.

Thanks for the quick replies.
I have been experimenting with various ways of converting to B&W. Agreed that the gradient map adjustment layer by itself isn't great. But, if you but a level adjustment layer under it and sometimes even a brightness/contrast adjustment layer under it as well, you can try many different values to get a wide variety of tonal ranges. Then it seems pretty good - assuming that these total image adjustmentlayers are legal.

As long as all the adjustment layers are in normal blending mode and affect the whole image (ie no layer mask) they are fine.
