Good on ya!
Since most photos are shot in color, almost all programs give you a set of sliders or channels to control the relative brightness of the colors when you switch to black and white. For instance, suppose you take a picture of a red ball sitting on green grass.
You can make the green grass very bright or very dark while maintaining a relatively neutral look to the red ball. Or you can crank up the red to make the ball look very bright or dark while keeping the grass neutral.
Tweaking the green can make a man's skin tones very craggy and rugged. Tweaking the red can make a woman's skin tones more high key by removing microscopic veins and flushed skin tones.
