Try it, it doesn't work the way you think it does.
I posted this a while ago:

I just did a conversion using the method I described...

Possibly not the best candidate, but I did no other manipulations except
a straight conversion from the original posted earlier.

Apart from anything else, when setting the lightness to minus 100, you'll
get a black screen - no info. Care to double check the steps and the
process?
BTW, I agree with everything that Godfrey said ...

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.
