Hello,
I know how to use the 'Process Multiple Files' function with 'quick fix'. It doesn't offer a convert to black and white option. How would I go about converting 20 or so pictures to black and white?

Thank you in advance and Happy Holidays! :)

Hi Sam ...

One of the problems with converting to B&W is that images look better if you process them individually ...

Which version of Elements are you using ??

Thank you for the reply, Wendy. For this project, speed is more important than quality. They are pictures of a construction project in various phases. I have PE5 installed at work but just purchased PE7 for home.

Please let me know if you know of a way to do it in PE5 where speed is more important than quality. I am shooting under available quartz lighting and have found color correction impossible so I resorted to B/W.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it.

Hi Sam ..

I suspect that you will need to find a B&W conversion action and install that in Elements ... the you will be able to automate the process.

Hopefully one of the others may know of an action that does that :)

Thanks, Wendy. Silly me, when I turned on my camera yesterday to take my shots, it dawned on me that I could TAKE them in B/W! :o


Happy Holidays! Sam
