>>>If the photo is to be printed on an inkjet printer, converting to
grayscale could force the printer to print only with the black
cartridge.  If one desires to print BW with both the color and black
cartridge (I prefer this as generating a more subtle grayscale in the
print), you can leave the file in RGB mode and simply select
"desaturate" to remove any color bias.<<<

also, since it is still in rgb mode, couldnt you emulate the effects of
filters used in b/w photography using curves?
