In the HELP function I looked for this assignment and found there you have to go to Scripts and use the Pictureprocessor to change a lot of pictures in black and white. I tried but it doesn't work.

Can somebody help me and tell me how to change a lot of pictures at once?

    Stephen and PE are right - Photoshop can provide you with an action to do this. 

    There will be a step by step process to record that action.

    If you take care to do that right the solution is relatively simple.

     

    I hope this helps

    There are indeed a number of options here, however they all require some setup:

     

    File > Automate > Batch... (requires an action to create the B&W image)

    File > Scripts > Image Processor... (requires an action to create the B&W image)

    File > Automate > Image Processor Pro... (not installed by default, requires an action to create the B&W image)

     

    Yet another option, if the image is JPEG/TIFF, is to configure Adobe Bridge to open these files using CMD/CTRL R to open into Adobe Camera Raw. Then you can select all the files in the sidebar and convert them all to black and white and then use the Save Images... button to batch save the processed files to another file format.

     

    After saying all that, the best B&W conversions are based off artistic judgement that takes into account the specific colour and tonal relationships of the image content, which is not something that can be batched using a fixed/static method.

    Hello, you need to create an action that records the steps of converting to black and white with your preferred method, then indeed, can launch it from the picture processor. There is a Custom RGB to greyscale action in the default actions set.
