The Sigma Foveon M : Please Share your Monochrom Images

Interesting thread.

Does anyone here use RawDigger?

Download RawDigger

The reason that I ask is that one can obtain any one of the Foveon (not just Merrill) raw layers without the complication of converting to RGB and then converting back to monochrome on the basis of luminance or whatever. Serious Users could even export each layer raw from RawDigger separately and mix them up via Layers in the GIMP or PS.

And let's not forget SPP5's Monochrome Mode for Merrills (not the color mode of the same name) which provides a mixer to directly access the X3F raw data and output it as grayscale monochrome.

For anyone who thinks that RGB-to-Gray is a simple matter, have a read of this:
