Hello

I still shoot some medium format Black and White film (FP4, HP5 etc.) and whilst checking over some negs from films processed and scanned in the past, I note that some were in RGB mode and others in Grayscale.  At one time, I would  use PS to convert the Mode from Grayscale to RGB prior to printing the B&W images on my Epson P600 printer.

I appreciate that there are a range of views / pros and cons with regard to using Grayscale vs RGB for Mono prints  but my query is . . . If and how, I can make a simple conversion from GS to RGB using Affinity Photo 2.  

I can of course drop back into CS2023 but shortly, I will dump Adobe's subscription and totally moving across to Affinity Photo 2.

Any thoughts, or advice would be welcome

Thanks you

Rod

Hi Rod,

You can convert easily single document, or batch processing. Depending if you want to only convert, or edit the files :

  1. open image
  2. export image, and choose file type, color format, and color profile as you need

if you want to do some edits:

  1. open image
  2. document—>convert and choose RGB/16
  3. do your edits
  4. save
  5. export

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.
