Unless there's something horribly wrong with an image I don't "use"
layers. In photoshop I convert to b&w by first optimizing the color
image as much as I can. Then I use this method.
1. Create a new adjustment layer "Hue/Saturation"
2a. Set Hue to -180
2b. Set Saturation to +100
2c. Set Lightness to -100
3. Change Mode to Lab Color, (if asked, yes do discard the layer).
4. In channels delete layer a.
5 Convert to gray scale.
Adjust curves or brightness/contrast for fine adjustments.
This is the easiest method I've found, (thank Cotty, for posting it here
a while ago). that gives very good results.

Hi Gang
Apologies for 2 pictures in one week.
This is a B&W conversion of a shot taken Oct 10, 2005 of the abandoned Maynooth
Station.
Still needing more experience on
this stuff.
You can see the remains of the old bed to the right.
Converted using Channel Mixer in Monochrome setting.
