I use a basic approach I learned in a class with Vincent Versace a few years back. First I take the shot in Nik Suite Color Efex Pro and do a little tonal enhancement and a small amount of detail inccrease. Then I go over to Silver Efex Pro and pick and choose to get the effect I am looking ofr. Finish up with a little detail enhancement in NEXT. There are many other pathways out there, and I would like to learn others, but this one owrks for now.
I use the IR to get to a broader range of greys in my images and many times, it just doen't work. I do delete most of whatI shoot and look for the few (really few) that give me what I am looking for. I have tried the channel swapping and did not care for the results.
