Black and White Video
I found a really excellent video on Black and White conversion using Lightroom on the Luminous Landscape web site. The Video features Michael Reichmann and Jeff Schewe. It is an excerpt from their video tutorial sequence Camera to Print and Screen.
Michael takes us from his original photo through to the black and white conversion in this video step by step. To detail his process of how he arrived at the final image Michael uses Lightroom "History". With History in Lightroom he shows us what he did... step by step (Quite innovative!) Watch the video full screen! I really found the video refreshing and inspiring.

I'm working on a web page about the history of Black and White prints and the different processes

Printing setup in Photoshop CS6 has changed… but, the procedure to get a print ready to print hasn't.

Softproofing in Lightroom 4
Once you have made your "tweaks" to soft proof and image for a particular paper and printer, or output for the web as sRGB, you can apply those same adjustments to ALL the photos before they are printed.
