WIP - Color into Black & White

[theantiquetiger]

OK, I am working on converting color into a rich B&W photo. I am using Gimp 2 but most tutorial videos are PS, so I cannot do it exactly how they do it in some cases.

Apparently, I will need to break down and get PS.

Any hints, tips, or links to a good video are GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Each photo below are different ways I've seen how to do it.
