Aperture Experiments – monochrome

Playing around with Aperture, I'm slowly getting the hang of RAW treatment workflow after each day of shooting. A little bit of contrast here, adjusting the temperature there, a tad of vibrancy over here... What used to take me hours is now done in 10min thanks to the great "lift and stamp" tool.

But one thing I still can't get a hang of is monchrome conversion... This is a photo I took yesterday from the 27th floor of the Shinjuku L Tower (the Nikon Plaza showroom). From it, I made a version with each pre-defined setting of Aperture:

Default Monochrome - R30% G59% B11%

Red filter

Orange filter

Yellow filter

Green filter

But however many times I compare all these versions, I cannot tell which setting fits best... Anyone in the room with tips for me?
