Re: Suggestions Needed

I would add that most publications publishing photojournalism get digital 
photos in color and convert them as needed.  I just sold some boxing 
photos, asked if they needed color or converted to black and white, and 
they said send color and they would do the conversion.  I don't know of any 
publications that look down on conversions, as you suggest, they all use 
some converted digital images.
