Developer’s Description

Force color images to render in grayscale (K plate only) on output.

This tool allows you to convert placed color photos to grayscale without modifying the original color image. Sometimes you want a particular picture to be output as a grayscale image, yet the original image is in color. You could open it in Photoshop and convert it to grayscale, but you can instead also use this plug-in. The original image is not changed and remains in color, yet it is output as a grayscale image. The gray image will only render on the black (K) plate.
