Title: Adequate
Product review: Freeman's Mastering Black and White Digital Photography provides brief but adequate coverage of color to grayscale conversion as well as manipulation of the resulting grayscale image (eg preserving shadow and highlight detail, adjusting curves). It assumes Photoshop, so techniques such as channel mixing may not be relevant if you use another program. It is VERY poorly edited: text and figures sometimes don't match, many figures are so small that the modifications being illustrated are difficult or impossible to see, some figures are printed across the gutter, etc. I recommend looking at this book before purchasing it to see if it provides you with enough value for the money.
