Hey Mike,
Thanks for the comment. The reason that I personally don’t like the B&W adjustment layer is that I’ve always found it too easy to lead to weird tonal inversions and artifacts in the image. Push the reds down too far and the blues up too far (or something similar) and things start to look real weird real quick.
