Dear Barbara,
In PhotoShop, I simply used Image/Adjustments/Desaturate. There is more than one way to get there. Using Channels like you said, gives you even more options. If a color is intense, you can push it toward black or white or anything in between, by adjusting the color chanels before you desaturate. The method I used effectively treats all three color channels as equal. Another good option is to convert the RGB file to Grayscale mode.
