Hi.
There's two great ways to accomplish this I reckon.
1. Go to the Hue and Saturation menu (Image:Adjustments:Hue/Saturation)
Pull the Saturation over to the left. This is like turning down the color on
your tv set.
Then select Image:Mode: Grayscale from the menu.
This method will ensure that your density values are correct (unlike just
going Mode: Grayscale which can mess them up a bit.
2. Change the color space to LAB color (Mode: LAB)
In the channels palette you will see the following color channels:
Lightness, a and b.
Delete a & b channels, leaving only the lightness channel.
It's now a single-channel multichannel image. Go to Image:Mode:Grayscale.
Hope this helps. It's actually from Photoshop 7, but its been the same since
about version 3 (I've been using Photoshop since version 1.5 - a looooong
time ago - 1992)
Cheers
Si
