It would seem that way. I have Elements 4 and that definitely doesn't!

If you don't want to spend out on a new version of Elements just yet, how about this free work-around.

Download this PSD file, and save to your desktop. Now, every time you want to do this B&W conversion, just double-click the 'Actions.psd' file and it will open up in Elements. Then open the image you want to work on, view the two images at the same time using Window>Images>Tile from the menu bar.

Then just select the two adjustment layers from the 'Actions' image and drag them onto the image you want to play with, and then adjust them as necessary.

Does that make sense?

Thanks Daniel for the link and file. I want to play around with it on a few samples to see how I like it. I'm always interested in different things to help make things go better.

Thanks Stefan,

Possibly a reason to upgrade on both platforms, though personally, i have never found a need for this feature.

OK, Stefan,

I did a quick look at the link you gave. Apparently the instructions are for the PC versions of PSE. Unfortunately, certain features of PSE in the PC version are not carried over to the Mac version, i.e. there is no Mac equivalent to versions 5 or 7. I noticed that in comparing the different versions of PSE since version 4. I can not speak for any certainty regarding version 8 in both versions since I have not upgraded yet on either platform.

Lightroom is a photo editing catalogue program, it will fill all of your standard photographic needs but it does not have the pixel editing expect, the new one has that but very limited though, not so advance as elements or photoshop.
Aperture, I've never used that.
Aperture is Apple's own program much like Lightroom.

Chris,

In Aperture also there is the non-destructive feature. Also PSE and Aperture can do the B&W conversion.

At least all are safe and no one was hurt in any way. Just have to do your insurance and hopefully upgrade your home security.

I am going to have to do some playing around in Elements with some RAW photos. There is also a few ways this can be done. Have you tried from the Menu, "Image" then "mode" then "greyscale" then OK the removal of color information? If not try it. Then you can start doing your enhancements.

Depends, what format you are shooting in, JPEG or Raw?
