Color management

4.From the File menu, select Open to open the image.

If the document has an embedded color profile that does not match the current working space, select Use the embedded profile. Otherwise, select Assign working space; in this case, if the displayed image does not look correct, try assigning it to other color spaces with Edit > Assign Profile (try sRGB, Adobe RGB, ColorMatch RGB and others) until you are satisfied.

Click OK.

5.(Optional) Use Photoshop to convert the image to grayscale. The simple way is to go to the Image menu and select Mode > Grayscale.

Alternatively, you can go to the Image menu and select Adjustments > Channel Mixer, to choose the percentage contribution of each color channel to the grayscale image, as follows:

a.Check Monochrome.

b.Drag any source channel's slider to the left to decrease the channel's contribution to the output channel or to the right to increase it, or enter a value between -200% and +200% in the text box (for example: 30% Red, 59% Green, 11% Blue). Using a negative value inverts the source channel before adding it to the output channel.

c.Drag the slider or enter a value for the Constant option. This option adds a black or white channel of varying opacity: negative values act as a black channel, positive values act as a white channel.

d.Click OK.
