Best way to convert to B+W...

Picard · 19th October 2005

Hi, I'm quite new to Nikon Capture and have just recently upgraded to v4.3.2

Just wondering how's the best way to convert my digital colour shots (Raw) to B+W using Nikon Capture? Is it just a simple click here and there or more?

Advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The easy way?
Click "Photo Effects", then click "Effect", choose "Black and White"

Thanks Astin.

That easy huh? Any 'cheem' way?

Also...I suppose I just go to a good photo lab to develop as per normal on normal paper right?

Thanks in advance.

If you are using Nikon Capture Editor, I really doubt there is any "cheem" way to go about doing it. You will need higher end editing softwares like Photoshop to do a better job. And yes, you can just send your B&W photos on a CD to any digital photolab to get it printed on the normal paper.
