Black and White in PS CS4

Photoshop CS4 has a new B&W mode, and I’ve been fiddling.

I’ve taken an existing small JPEG (for speed) and applied just the presets - results are as follows:

Original
Tint
Default

Auto
Yellow
Red

High contrast red
Infrared
Blue

High contrast blue
Green
Neutral Density

Lighter
Darker
Maximum white

Maximum Black

…the Ken Rockwell of photography. :)

There’s a very funny skit at DPReview that’s well worth a read, but what is it that gets people so wound up about Ken? I personally think his site is pretty amusing, but then I don’t take much of it at face value - as he warns visitors not to. But some people really take umbrage - my pet theory is that Nikon owners don’t have much of a sense of humour, but if not, why do they use Nikon cameras in the first place?
