Zylcho has a nice quick way to accomplish that effect, but its not the best, expecially if you want to make the colors more vibrant than they really are (as seen in those examples). Plus there are some extra things you can do to get the most out of making a color picture "black and white" (technically called grayscale unless black and white are the only two colors used)

-First open the image and make a copy of the layer, this can easily be done by clicking and dragging the layer to the "create new layer" icon at the bottom of the layers pallete (looks like a piece of paper with a corner folded down)

-Now you should have 2 identical layers, we are going to take the top layer and turn it "black %26 white" To do this effectively, and get the best results you are going to use what is called "Calculations" This found under Image.

-Mess around with the various channels, blending modes, opacity. Once you get a good look, in the "Result" option, choose "new document" This will create a new document of the black and white image.
