I would love to learn how to work all the channels.  I tried recreating the color changes .....it does not work for me.

Check out the Tutorials page for instructions on using channels. Here's one link: http://www.operationphotorescue.org/forum/index.php/topic,394.0.html

Recently I upgraded from CS2 to CS4 and while I have not had a chance to try out all the new changes, that one thing that really seems like a big improvement is the Channel Mixer Adjustment. Before if you wanted an nice black and white, you checked the monochrome box and maybe the b/w version looked good or maybe you needed to play with the sliders to get what you wanted. You could go into a channel that you thought did the best job of black and white and use it or go to calculations and combine two channels and play with a blending mode. Now I go to Channel Mixer and use the pull down menu to see what channel I would like to use and then let the preset do the work. I think it works incredibly well! Here is a screen shot of the new menu.

Thanks for the tip Margie!  I didn't even know about the presets.

For CS4 users converting images to B&W:

Check out Deke McClelland's Photoshop Top 40 on YouTube. #36 explains how you can have full control over the image that you are converting. The link for this tutorial is here:

Or you can just search on: Photoshop Top 40 to see all the tutorials he has created.
BTW, Deke is still making these and is only up to #25
