Convert to black and white

When you've opened your image go to Enhance>Convert to Black and White. A new window will open showing you the image how it is now and how it will look once the conversion has been applied. There are several pre-set styles to try and choose from. You can also adjust the intensity of these pre-sets with the red, blue, green and contrast sliders. If you alter it too much simply click undo. When you're happy click OK and your image will now have a mono tone.
