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.
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?
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).
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?
Ah, try these two tutorials on making a selection of complex objects (grandson in this instance..hehe)
