Hi All

I have been asked by a client to convert all but a handful of approx 100 shots originally taken in colour, to black and white. Can I ask in your experience which is the best process to do this that results in the best quality black and white conversion?

I have both Lightroom and CS3, with a few presets in Lightroom (but I don't think much of these presets to be honest), but would be willing to purchase a low(ish) cost b&w conversion app if anyone would feel that this does a better job than either of the two I have.

Personally, I like the CS3 Image>Adjustments>Black and White function to be honest, and feels this does an excellent job of the conversion.

What do others here feel please...?

I'm a big fan of Photoshops Image>Adjustments>Black and White function as well - especially for batch conversions.
