Yeah, that's what I do these days, and for me it works about as well as 
what I used to do. That still doesn't explain the change that's turned 
WB adjustments from a reasonable way of tuning B/W conversions into a 
total horror. It doesn't matter much, though; I'm just curious.

Ah, right. It does seem rather more sensible that saturation beneath 1.0 
be linear.

Ah, thanks. I'll use that as a reference if I find that the exposure 
mask looks like a decent B/W conversion.
