Yes I've been using calculations then adjusting the curve, which seems to give me a lot of control to black and whites. I have to confess to having an older Photoshop on my home computer though, unfortunately. Something to save up for :) Thanks for the tip. I'm now envious of all the missing newer options.

It's a newer feature of Photoshop. Normally when I try to stylize a color photo to BW, I use B&W conversion, then I use curve to adjust each channel. Of course, how much I adjust depends on how much I want the B&W version to stay true to the original.
