Photoshop help please.

I did my first Photoshop project ever for our upcoming show.
If I knew how to resize it, I'd post it. The poster came out really good considering I'm a total novice.
What I wanna know is how to turn a color image into black $ white?
I'm using Adobe 6.0.
Please be gentle with this idiot.

Could someone resize the poster so I can put it on the HAMB to drum up business?
Or better yet tell me how to do it?

Thanks a bunch.

 

Try this...with picture ready

1. select
2. all
3.image
4. image size
5. 600 width

that should resize it...


black and white conversion

1. image
2. mode
3. grayscale
4. ok

 

Thanks hatch, I'll do it when I get home.

 

don't forget to save the file under another name so you don't lose the original color one.

Also, for black and white, create an adjustment layer (the circle at the bottom of your layer palette that's half white and half black). Select Hue/Saturation, and drag the saturation arrow all the way to the left. Now when you click the eyeball on that layer, you can go back and forth between color and B/W...ya dig.
