Frequently asked questions
How is the gray computed?
From each pixel's brightness, weighted the way the eye sees colors: green looks lighter, blue darker. So the photo doesn't look flat.
Is PNG transparency kept?
Yes, only the color changes; transparent areas stay transparent.
Can I make a negative?
Yes, choose "Negative" in the "Color effect" field - the colors are inverted and transparency is kept.
