Re: [OM] Monochrome Experiments

But the Oly software should also work for you if you make sure to turn 
off any camera setting that diddles with color or contrast and set the 
white balance to daylight.  If you were shooting color film you would 
normally use daylight balanced film.  Same thing.  Then the ORF 
converter's view of the raw file should be that of using daylight film. 
 That also leaves you free to then manipulate the image in any way you 
like including post-processed color filtration or B&W conversion.
