If you stink at it check out these LR presets, they work great!

I just can't get sold on presets yet - it is always too strong for my tastes.

The presets may seem like a steep entry point but extremely valuable IMO in cases like yours (and mine) when you don't know where to start. Me personally if I use a preset I inspect carefully WHAT was changed to create said look and then adjust to taste. I have found that combining a few makes black and whites how I want and because I know what was changed to make it that way, i can adjust it however I want.

+1, fantastic software.

Otherwise,in LR, just play with some of the sliders, get a feel for it.

I am really bad at multitasking. Seems I am always doing 5 things at once without a single one of them having my full attention.

I use a set of presets and modify them as needed. Again, good starting point:

I am really bad at ...
-culling images. you'd think with the last name of "Cull" this would come naturally
-editing quickly
-determining white balance for fluorescent lights
-blogging regularly
-marketing
-self promotion
-staying on task
-keeping in touch with friends
-having a personal life
-getting rid of stress

On the upside I am really good at...
-playing freecell (I'm a master, really)
-putting my husband before my business
-putting people at ease when I work with them

I'm personally hoping my awesome freecell skills will suddenly come in handy one day.

photographically - putting off tasks, procrastinating.
elsewhere - housekeeping.
