Fred Miranda's  B & W action

http://www.fredmiranda.com/Action_profilesPage/index.html

This is the ultimate tool for anyone who ever has a need for converting their digital or scanned film files to black & white. The new Digital B&W PRO action provides photographers with infinite possibilities.

Here are the main features:

  • Pre-set actions that simulate black and white film with or without color filters: You have options ranging from black & white film with no filter or black & white film with red, orange, yellow, green filters or black & white ASA 400 simulation and a high setting for low contrast images.

  • Manual tweak action: This will give you endless possibilities. You have the ability to either tweak the Master channel or the channels individually. Everything is automated for you and the results can be seen visually as you control the intensity sliders. This setting is advanced but very easy to use.

  • Post B&W conversion special effects: After running the pre-set B&W actions or the manual tweak action, you have the choice of adding a variety of pre-loaded settings of Duotones, Tritones or Quadtones including Cyan, Mangenta, Sepia and elegant combinations like burgundy/gold and Aqua/gold

 

Below are my own first experiences . Need I to say it was never as easy to convert original files into b&w ? It works fast and smooth and the results are truly amazing .
