Remember Color to B&W? please

In CS I used to convert color to B&W using Output Channels Red,Green & Blue
to control the B&W.
I forgot how it's done. A reminder or source for those instructions would be
helpful.
Thanks in advance

...
With help from Paul Mitchum who reminded me about:
Image -> Adjustments -> Channel Mixer
Check the 'Monochrome' checkbox.
What I remember now, which might be help to other users- when you follow the
above
try setting Red at 20%,Green at 70% and Blue at 10%.
Compare those results with one when you simply change from
Image/Mode/Grayscale

THANK YOU PAUL MITCHUM!
You've done it. My synapses now snapped. That's exactly what I was looking
for.

Cheers John. I'm going to fire up PS now and have a play with that.

For a quick-and-easy B&W conversion that gives more control than 'convert to
grayscale' or 'desaturate', simply look at the three color channels
independently. Each will be different (sometimes dramatically so) and one
may have more of the sort of 'punch' that makes a good picture. Copy the
channel you like the look of and paste it into a new layer (this keeps your
original layer intact). Don't forget that a switch to CMYK mode gives you
three more channels to play with.
When you have exhausted the creative possibilities of this cheap and dirty
method you will find that Channel Mixer gives you even more power.

Aaah.
I'm just a semi-experienced amateur with Photoshop, so I tend to do things
the wrong way a lot of the time. I get results that I'm happy with, but as
time goes on and I learn the correct ways to do things, I find my results
get better.
I think my *convert to grayscale* comment has just highlighted another area
that I need to read up on.

Converting to Grayscale would offer no control of the image.
