Having had a half-assed play around with photoshop and having got no further than adjusting the image threshold (which was naff, like a 10th gen photocopy) can anyone tell me how to convert a colour image into a black and white one?

Can't be that difficult surely? My bloody XP does it to my desk top background every time I shut down!

Software recommendations/idiot's guide much appreciated.

Thanks.

In Photoshop go on "image" and then down to "adjustments", then "desaturate". That takes the colours away.

a quicker way is
Image>Mode>Greyscale - then 'Discard color information'

Presto Hey!

I do NOT like the sound of that!
(And I'd question it's success rate. Doesn't seem to have worked for many other of our HL brethern ).
