It's been a while since i've done any B&W conversions - probably the last time i used PS, as I do all of my processing using Canon's DPP. My initial b&W conversions were done just changing the picture style setting, however, i found i got much better results using the channel mixer in PS Elements 2.
Last time i converted some portraits to B&W I used the channel mixer, but the problem is that don't remember the process i followed or the settings i used (it's been almost a year).
I'd appreciate if someone could help me with a refersher on using the Channel Mixer to convert my files to B&W as well as with getting a workflow to convert TIFF files (that were created by converting raw files in DPP), to B&W Jpegs. All are portraits. Is there a fast way to batch process these TIFFs in PS Elements 2, so that i can do the intital channel mixer settings
