Theres another way that gives you more control over the image. Using the hue/saturation method can make it look a bit flat.

Start with your color image, and then go to the Image menu and click Calculations. The image will turn b&w instantly and a dialog box will appear. You play around with the settings then until you get it how you want.

In Illustrator you'd need to go to Filters>Color>COnvert to Grayscale.
