    To be honest - I'm just diving into it - and I'm more and ore excited!! For the time beeing I love C1 - it is far more capable and the community is brilliant. Love to leave Adobe !!

    I practically begged Phase One (in a note to tech support) to support opacity changes in layers for B&W. I haven't found the program Exposure X3 better than Capture One except in one respect: black and white processing. Exposure permits you to adjust the intensity of the applied b&w in two ways: 1) b&w only — the preset you've applied is by default at 100%. Backing off the opacity slider reduces the effect accordingly. The lower the opacity, the more the image returns to Exposure's default b&w rendering. 2) color only — the b&w preset you've applied is at 100% at first. Backing off the opacity begins bringing color back into the image. This produces a faded-color effect. It isn't something I'd use often, but it certainly is good to have this kind of option.

    It's odd that b&w can't be adjusted via layer opacity. I wonder why they made that decision. I hope they un-make it soon.

    At the very least, b&w split-toning effects can be applied on a layer, with opacity adjustments, if you use not the split-toning sliders but the advanced (3-way) color balance tool.
