Guest Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If I change the Colour Format of an image to Greyscale, it looks much darker than if I add a Black and White Adjustment layer. Is one Greyscale and one literally black and white? Does this account for the difference? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted October 11, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi Markeeee, This forum thread may be of interest to you with regards to converting to Grayscale. Basically changing the Colour format to Grayscale is destructive and removes the colour data from the image whereas using a Black & White Adjustment keep the colour data and allows it to be used to change the appearance of the image.

Guest Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks for the link. Can I ask the Black and White Adjustment layer - is that a bitmap: the pixels are either black or white (no greyscale)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
