Dr. Freeley,
first, put rubber sheets on your bed.

second, create B&W ps files, do not convert. Colors that are
very different can convert to the same greyscale, and cause
confusion in the b&w output (and you might not even notice).

as for CMYK, in the past I have opened the PS in photoshop of
paintshop pro and just converted to CMTK Tiffs for publication,
although it did run into various problems.

Cheers,
bob
