I have a group of images I want to convert to black & white. I have read some great posts on this process. The procedure I followed is listed below.
The problem is all my printed photos have a green tint to them. Does anyone know how to correct this?
This is how I did it! (Thanks Nancy S.)

1. have your image in RGB
2. create a Levels Adjustment layer above your image but DON’T make any changes, just click OK
3. create a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer above Levels and move the saturation slider all the way to the left, removing all color, click OK
image now appears as a black/white photo, but it is not, it is RGB
4. in Layers Palette, click on Levels thumbnail to bring up the histogram
where the dialog box says RGB, use drop down to select one color channel watching your image, move any/all of the three sliders
switch to the second color channel and tweak
switch to the third color channel and tweak
Better? You have a lot more control with this technique, your eye is your guide as to how much contrast etc you want to build into the image. Technically this is still an RGB image, if you need grayscale, change the mode, it won’t change the image’s appearance.
