Using Microsoft Photo Editor, is it possible to convert a color photo to black and white?
If yes, please describe how to make the conversion.
Thanks.

Or more generically, cut the saturation to zero.

PEDDLER:
Thanks much. Using the method you described, I made the attached B&W. You can see the Color version by looking at my post of today:

Previous methods provide a first step but rarely yield a B&W photo with full tonality. Further processing is required based on what the histogram looks like. This is your photo with much better tonality.

Thanks much for posting your edited version.  I will edit any B&W conversions just like an original scan.
Thanks again.
