Hi there,
sometimes, when I want to convert an image to black and white, I'd like to use the tone information of a single channel (i.e. what you see when only one channel is visible instead of all three in RGB) as the final picture or the starting point. Here's how I usually do it:
- Make a new layer and fill it all white
- Load the channel as the current selection (i.e. Control-Click on it).
- Invert the selection and fill it with black.
However, this is rather tedious. I could make an Action out of it, but I was wondering if there is an easier way...
Thanks!
