You may

1 – do it yourself as part of some fun filled learning of PSCS and its range of features

2 – find a plugin, action, script (or all 3) that will do it to some (mostly preset parameters)

3 – Google or otherwise search for PSCS tutorials using suitable phrasing in the search string

4 – Google for russell brown’s tutorials (www.russellbrown.com or www.russelbrown.com) and look for training materials/tutorials by the one, the only, the one and only Russell Brown

5 – do any combination of the above (try option 4 first)

6 – advertise and pay some1 to do it for you

Look up Desaturate in your Manual, you do have a manual right? You wouldn’t be a pirate would you?

Use Image>Adjustments>Channel Mixer. Check Monochrome.

Desaturate or convert to Gray Scale.

Image >Adjust > Desaturate
Image > Mode > Grayscale

Desaturating one layer will keep the color information in other layers. Converting to Grayscale will remove the color information from all layers. If you wish to keep the color information rather than lose it, you can choose Image >Adjust >Hue/Saturation and slide the saturation down to zero. Te get the color to return, check the Colorize box above Preview.

Playing with the Channel Mixer first can later your black and white conversion significantly, sort of like using color filters with a camera.
