Lamont Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I am used to converting color images to B&W by making a new adjustment layer for the channel mixer and by selecting monochrome. Then adjust RGB sliders to my liking. I don't see a monochrome option in Affinity Photo. Will we get this feature? Is there a workaround? How do you use the channnel mixer in Affinity Photo for B&W conversions? I suppose Black & White Adjustment lets me do essentially the same thing, but it has not only RGB, but also yellow, magenta and cyan channels. I presume the total number of percentage should always amount to 600%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I miss this feature too. The Black & White Adjustment layer does a different conversion than the monochrome channel mixer option in Photoshop (I tested it with a color chart file). All colors are converted to a very similar tone of gray. Because of this missing option, I am a bit at a loss about how to convert to monochrome in AP. Would be grateful for any suggestion about alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotMyFault Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I have some sympathy for getting a simplified B&W adjustment using only RGB channels. But this should be totally separate from channels mixer, which is intended for a totally different use case, and no good basis for what is requested here.
