Hi everyone.

I'm processing a bunch of photos from a friend's wedding.

To make B&W images in the past, I've usually used LR2 and completely desaturated the image, then used the WB to play with relative tones (as well as normal level adjustments).
I've never used the grayscale option, mainly because of ignorance. I notice I can do the same thing, but the result for the same WB adjustments is different between grayscale and 100% desaturated colour.

Is there a preferred option for making a B&W image? I can't really work out if there are flaws or benefits in either method.

I'm keeping this to Lightroom processing, as I don't have time to export all these photos to PS.

Just looking for any opinions.

cheers
