I just put up my two most used layer based mono actions, basically with the one 
labelled mono just open the Hue/saturation layer (second from the top) and 
alter the Hue control whilst watching the image. The effect is like a 
continuously variable colour filter, you can't emulate the colour response of 
particular films by this method but you can generally find a point that 
delivers a great grey-scale balance. 

The curves layer below it can be tweaked to alter the image contrast. The 
vintage action is just a variation on the same.
