“Layer” > “New Fill Layer” > “Solid Color”
A B+W technique I came across in a magasine but can't remember which:
--------------
"So how do we do this? It’s actually not much harder than desaturation. Instead we add a grey (128,128,128) fill color then change the blending mode to color and we are done.
“Layer” > “New Fill Layer” > “Solid Color”
In “New Layer” popup, set “Mode” to “Color”
In the color-picker popup box, set color to 128,128,128 (r,g,b)
A side note for those using the EOSViewerUtility (or the in camera-function itself), internally, it performs this exact same method with the b/w option.
So there you have it. No excuses for desaturating your photos to go B&W any more."
--------------------
my example of this methood

Very nice conversion method, Simon. Thanks for sharing. I made some tests and results are very promising.

Re: “Layer” > “New Fill Layer” > “Solid Color”
