Convert to 8 bit Luminance


The Convert to 8 bit Luminance command converts an RGB image to an 8 bit grayscale image with pixel values between 0 and 255. The R, G, and B channels are combined to a single value using the standard grayscale conversion weights (0.292, 0.594, 0.114). If you wish to convert the RGB image to 8 bits using any other weight values, use Convert to Grayscale prior to the present command. If the RGB image is already in grayscale form, then this command will weight R, G, and B equally.
