Choosing a grayscale method

Luminance weighting usually looks best for photographs because it follows how human vision sees red, green, and blue brightness. Average grayscale treats all channels equally. Lightness uses the midpoint between the darkest and brightest channels, which can help graphic images with strong colors.

Întrebări frecvente

No. Alpha transparency is preserved when the output format supports it.
