even if you convert to greyscale in PS when you output the pdf with that ICC profile it will be converted to a CMYK anyway. So you make as well leave it RGB if you're happy with the way it looks.
A CMYK greyscale will give you richer tones when printed so it's better if you have that option. The only thing you need to mindful of is a colour-cast when it's being printed. But that's the printer's job to watch

- i wouln't leave CMYK conversion to indesign, used to convert in ps, proper color profile, and save a hq tiff what will be placed in indesign.sted
- and how about using cmyk->duotone conversion and export as eps K only? :) because I can tell the difference between a CMKY printed photo and a proper grayscalested
- It's always best to follow the printers' advice. if an issue developes he'll just blame your conversionGnash

- Sted, I always do color conversion in indesign. I'm also a photographer, and work for alot of magazine, they always ask the rgb to a batch conversion in ->tank02
- Indesign so you have good seperations preview in combo with the required ICC profile.tank02
- ^^ yupGnash
- indesign was known for the shitty colorspace conversion for many years, it's just an other way, you can still do separated cmky docs for checking, that doesn'tsted
- depends on the source :)sted
- it's actually acrobat that doing the conversion. But you're right, I do my own in PS. the only exception is when the printer asks for a specific workflowGnash
