The Configure Color Conversion window is used to set parameters for converting color images to black and white. The original color image appears on the left and a preview of the bitonal image appears on the right. The black and white preview is updated as the settings change.

Average |
This option gives equal weight to red, green, and blue when converting color to black and white. The formula is value = (red + green + blue)/3. |
|
Grayscale |
This option gives the most weight to the green value. This optimizes for the perception of the human eye, in which blue is the hardest color to see, and therefore requires the least weight. The formula is value = (red*77 + green*151 + blue*28). |
|
Weighted Average (RGB) |
When this option is selected, the RGB Weights fields are available, allowing you to set each color's relative weight. |
|
Threshold |
This slider adjusts the threshold value for converting pixels to black and white. As the slider is moved, the bitonal preview is updated to show how the threshold affects the appearance of the black and white image. |
|
RGB Weights |
The weight of red, green, and blue values for conversion to black and white. The weight of each color can be set to a value from 0 to 255. For example, if red is set to 255 and green and blue are both set to 0, the whole reduction depends on the value of the red pixels. The green and blue pixel values have "no weight." |
