If aiming for a monochrome result, I invariably decompose to RGB channels. That gives me three versions of the image which can be combined as I need. Often one is a good base image and then I apply translucent versions of the other channels (perhaps changing the mode to something like screen or overlay or using layer masks) to fine tune the effect.

Have you got any illustrations to go along with your suggested steps?
