> [@Paulo](#): > > One thing to remember is that when you go from color-\>grayscale there are a lot of colors that find themselves in the midrange of that white-black scale so the contrast needs to be brought up MUCH more than normal in order to bring more clarity and distinction to the lines that make up the image.

also i convert using the black and white function in CS3ā€¦ it gives you SO many options b4 it converts it, instead of the greyscaleā€¦ with the black and white converter, u can increase the brightness of each color in the pic, but in black and white. my fave is the 2nd iPhone pic ---
