[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 553381, member: 13090"] Hoping not to sound pedantic I would say it depends on what you mean by "quality". If what you want is an image that is simply devoid of color, [I]and that's all you want[/I], then in-camera processing will save you a lot of time and trouble. No need to do anything in post to get you where you want to go. Now, that being said, black and white images can (and I would say they SHOULD) be about a *LOT* more than simply desaturating the image. Really good black and white processing is an art unto itself, in my opinion. And that's without eeeeven getting into things like Duo-toning or Quad-toning. [/QUOTE]
