Greyscale Image
« on: March 28, 2009, 10:29 PM »
Hi,

I am sure that Screenshot Captor can do this, but where can I greyscale a captured screenshot? You can adjust the colors, but I am unsure what to adjust them to.

Thanks.

If you wait another week you'll be excited about the kinds of effects you can apply easily  ;)

And normally you want to make gray some area outside a specific selection, which you would do by selecting a region and then choosing SpecialFx menu -> grey outside (or choosing the button to do this).

BUT, if you really want to grayscale the entire image, you can choose SpecialFx -> Adjust Colors
then go to HSV (or HSL) tab and slide the Saturation slider all the way to the left.

Perfect! Many thanks that did the trick. :Thmbsup:

I look forward to the update as always. :)

Thanks again
