[LRflex] Re: BW Pano of Whitby from Lythe Bank

Hi David, and thank you.
it's a freebie I picked up plugins.com , just called BW conversion. 
Loads of "pseudo filters" in it and a selection of BW film 
characteristics, grain and toning options too. Sometimes it works for me 
, sometimes it doesn't quite do what I want it to.
But well worth a try 'cos it's free.
Cheers
Douglas
