Pretty much, it's done in Photoshop. A few cameras have a dedicated black & white mode, but all the point & shoots are starting with a 3- color, "striped" image, so there should be little difference. As to publication-quality, Check out some of the excellent tutorial pieces from Brian Lawler in our "Tips and FAQs" section. (Click on that heading in the left-hand navigation bar.) There are several articles on printing digital images, and one specifically on getting more "snap" in black and white conversions.
