One tip for better tonality b/w's (compare it with the standard Greyscale conversion through photoshop in the workshop)

In photoshop , open the image
1.Press D
2.Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Gradient Map
3.Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Channel Mixer
4.Check Monochrome , Red 75% ,Green 26% ,Blue 34% , Constant -8%
5.If not the desired result , change a little Blue and Green
6.Layer -> Flatten Image

If still not the desired result ,black not black or no white just a grey , go under Image -> Adjustments -> Curves you can adjust which part of the image is white , and which black.
