Default Ways to "Black & White" an image

Anybody care to share how you convert a colour image to black and white? I dun think it's as simple as just hitting the desaturate button cos when I do that, I get quite a wash-out picture.

I suspect we will need to fiddle around with the colour channels? Are there any nice plug-ins that I can use to achieve this result?

There are a few ways. I prefer this method since you can adjust each RGB color individually.
