In Photo (1.6): Document > Color Format > Grayscale (8 bit) or Grayscale (16 bit) In Photo (1.7): Document > Convert Format/ICC Profile... and set Format to Gray/8bit or Gray/16bit By throwing away the color information I would expect the file to become smaller, but I haven't tried it and won't predict how much smaller it might get. Note that there are many ways of converting a color document to b/w, and some will work better for some photos than others. So to get the best b/w image you might want to use a different approach than simply converting the document to grayscale.

I don't believe that Affinity has any support for generating an ICC profile from a set of printed targets such as Adobe Color Printer utility would produce. However, if you have an ICC profile for your printer and the paper you're printing on you should be able to install it on your system and Affinity will use it.

Found! Its hidden in the dropdown now... Thank you Walt! ------ For the quality: It doese not really important, i want to use as BATCH-processor for dozens and dozens of textures.... for later use as as blend - background and so on. I do not need HQ for this, they are "dirty" backgrounds... but if one format is better than another one, by the same "size" (MByte) - price, so why waste quality?
