Help Please,
I have been trying to learn Channel Mask in CS3 but everytime I select the channels tab they are all in colour and all the tutorials have them in B&W.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

From memory (I use CS4) there is a monochrome check box on the channels window, you need to tick that.

Thanks Rick & Dave. I did both as you suggested.
Rick I checked the monochrome box but all it did was give me a greyscale channel with a red, green, and blue overlay.
Dave I tried deselecting all of the channels one at a time but all it did way give me that colour overlay.
I know this is something basic but can't find it anywhere on the net.
I've done up a quick screen grab video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20NW5PEMxgQ
Is this what you mean ?
(give it 10 mins, Youtube says it's still processingVideo now live)

Thanks Dave,
I haden't seen that particular you tube video. But, yes, at the start all the channels come up as those colours on the photo when selected but then I can't get all the channels to go grey like they do near the end of the video.
Sorry I took so long to answer, didn't realise it was so late, been trying to figure it out.
Care to take some screen shots of what you're doing so we have a better idea ?
On a Mac, Shift-Apple-4 will give you a cursor to select what part of the screen to grab (saves to Desktop by default), on Windows you're stuck with ALT-Print Screen to capture the whole window (into your cut-n-paste buffer).
Every video, everyone just clicks on channels and RBG comes up in colour and the 3 channels underneath come up in black and white. Mine come up with a colour filter type thing over the top of the 3 channels.
What are you trying to achieve with the processing. Are you wanting a mono photo at the end?
Trying to change background from photo of grandson and put in a texture maybe. Thought this was the best way to go because of his wispy bits of hair. Am I on the right track?
EDIT - PREFERENCES - INTERFACE (uncheck the SHOW CHANNELS IN COLOUR box)
This works in CS4 -- CS3 - let's hope so.
