Black & White from color

In todays tutorial highlight, learn the three most important techniques for creating beautiful black and white images from your color originals. Plain old desaturate, channel copying and the wicked powerful channel mixing method are all demonstrated.

This tutorial uses Photoshop CS2, but works just the same for most relatively recent versions. The all new singing and dancing CS3 version has a couple of new additions for creating B&W and I'll have a tutorial for those in the near future, but these classic methods are really just as good as any of the fancy-schamcy new ones.
