Color To Black And White Using RGB Channel Splits

This is the original

This is the lesson work

This is the original

I did a levels adjustment to the orig.
Blue=19 - 0.88 - 255
RGB=5 -1.14 - 248

I chose the green channel split with unsharp mask:
radius-1.50 Strength-51 and clipping=6

I used the histogram adjustment to original
Low-8, Gamma-123, and high-252.

I chose the Blue channel split unsharp mask:
Radius-2, Strength-30, and Clipping-21
probably should have left the clip adjustment alone though.

For some reason this lesson really intriqued me. I decided to play around with some variations and found it to be alot of fun..boy are there a gazillion ways to get a black and white image :)
