Photoshop allows a large measure of filter "effects" in converting color to B&W, using slider tools that show the preview of the filter's effects. The biggest problem I have when shooting digital is blown highlights that I cannot burn and basically have to replace using cut a paste from an adjoining area. I've gotten to the point that I often have to use exposure compensation of -1 to avoid blown highlights.
