Anyone have a link to the B&W technique in which you greyscale your image, then copy over the R,G and B channels from a color version, then make masks of the R,G and B layers?
I"ve forgotten what kind of a mask to make. Thanks.

I found this but I don't think that's what you are talking about.

Thanks, that's a very near miss. The 'Blending Three Channels' tutorial is almost the same, slightly different. Interesting though, I'll have to try what you posted.

Open an RGB file, and then click the Play button. When the action finishes playing, the black and white conversion
will be automatically set up for you. This action leaves you with a file that has a 100% luminosity layer conversion.
You can raise the opacity of the layers above this layer to change the mix, but be sure to keep the opacity of the
luminosity layer at 100%. If you don't keep this opacity, some color from the Background layer will show through,
which can create an interesting effect, but I recommend you do it another way. You could also reduce the opacity of
the layer set."
can use an action but still do some adjusting to the pic (my apologies if you already know that)-

I'm really still a PS newbie, so I keep reading through the links in Andy's last two paragraphs of http://blogs.smugmug.com/pros/2006/03/04/pop-this/
Also trying to follow R.Brown through his masking demos; see http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html
