Depends on your camera. If your camera has the option of capturing a
raw file and a large JPEG at the same time like many Nikons and
probably others you can get the camera's conversion for black and
white in the JPEG and then play with the RAW file to post process a
black and white.
If your conversion software picks up camera settings you will get a an
automatic black and white conversion in the raw conversion process.
