Convincing Black White Digital Images: " 
   When I first started converting my color shots to B&W images I did it the easy way by
  desaturating or worse converting my shots to from RGB to B&W. These methods, though effective in removing color,
  reduce the quality and overall tone of the image. I used to think that this was just the way it was. Was I ever
  wrong. Here are a couple of quick tutorials to get you started making your B&W conversions the right way.  
   Adobe has a downloadable
  PDF that explains the best way to convert your images to B&W if you are using Photoshop CS. Debbie
  Grossman over at Popular Photography as also posted a
  tutorial on B&W conversion in her Digital Toobox column. Other software packages may not have
  the same level of control but might have a feature that will help such as a filtered B&W conversion effect.
