Black & White from Adobe Lightroom Beta

I have recently downloaded Adobe Lightroom Beta, and within this (what looks like it will become an excellent programme) is the option to convert your RAW files into greyscale. Having tried this out, and further post-edited in CS2, the images below lend themselves quite nicely to the black and white treatment. Whether Lightroom made the task easier is difficult to say, however, if you have not yet taken advantage of the free "beta" I suggest a quick visit to Adobe's website should be on your agenda.

I must admit to enjoying playing around with my digital images - as you will probab,y have noticed from some of my earlier photo's. Manipulation of RAW files has possibly just taken a major step forward thanks to Adobe - and I am looking forward to the full release of this new software.
