Why not pick a similar color picture if you have one (red flower,
foliage in the background) and apply filters in PhotoShop. I think that
would allow you learn to visualize much faster than waiting for you B&W
film and prints to be available.
Well, I assume PhotoShop can do that. Since I don't shoot B&W normally,
if I want a B&W rendition I don't apply normal filters, I just convert
in ACR using the color filter sliders until I get something I consider
pleasing. Can't do that with real filters.
