A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

Yes the Channel Mixer method Joe mentions--

--is excellent,however when I am preparing clients work for Gallery quality B+W prints in PShop for Lambda/Iris printer output I do it this way----

A : Open Image--leave in RGB

B: Make a Hue & Saturation Adj Layer click OK, and set blend mode to COLOR.

C: Make a second Hue & Saturation Adj Layer --set it's Saturation Slider at -100
click OK and blend Mode to NORMAL.

D: Double click on the BOTTOM Hue & Sat Layer Thumbnail,and move the Hue slider of that Layer to adjust the Luminance and RGB color values in true Monochrome.

Once you have the tonal value in the B+W to your liking make a new Layer>Layer New---ABOVE your existing ones and press--

Shift>Option>Command>E Mac (Control>Shift Alt>E PC) to save your finished Print with your existing layers intact below.

Name this Final/etc and print from this Layer.

I agree with the other posters there are indeed other 'fish to fry' and I suggest you take some time to browse the many forums/sites on Color Mgmt/Monitor Calib/etc.

Good Luck and don't be too impatient--Once things come together you'll find PS is a great Program.
