Marzenna,

Conversion of color to B&W has already been discussed on this forum. Do a search and you should get quite a few hits.

There are many ways to convert color to B&W...currently, I'm playing around with B&W Studio from powerretouche.com. It has a couple of nice features that other tools do not have and is cheaper than Convert to B&W Pro from imagingfactory.com.

Basically, just jump in and start playing with evals or PS Channel Mixer, or actions, or . . .

Have fun!
