Digital BW, The Print

Paul--I love the term 'marketroids' LOL. 

 To Donald---I have lots of links to different workflows and tutorials for black and white processing if you need them.  After you get your feet wet, you will work out your own, but sometimes its helpful to see how others are working.

  As Diane said, it's a simple conversion in the camera, but better done
  manually after the fact. Different images have important detail in different
  color channels, so for best results you should always look at the three
  color channels separately, and try various mixes of them, for the best
  effect. For instance, to dramatically darken a blue sky, you use primarily
  the red channel, and sometimes even subtract some of the blue channel. But
  there is no single conversion formula that produces the best result for all
  pictures, so stay away from B&W conversion in the camera. That's a toy
  function, invented by marketroids for appealing to novices.
