Frequently Asked Questions

Can I undo grayscale conversion?

The grayscale conversion is destructive to color data. To preserve the original, keep a copy before converting.

Will grayscale reduce quality?

No. Grayscale conversion preserves all pixel detail — it simply removes color information.

What is the difference between grayscale and desaturate?

Grayscale converts to luminance-only values. Desaturate removes color saturation. The visual result is similar.
