I hope the list is now running again:

I meet troubles encoding digital photographs to grayscale JPEGs with IM. The result of

convert photo.jpg -type grayscale photo_sw.jpg

works fine with most programs, but not with Adobe FrameMaker. Trying to find out about the reason, I read the information from the resulting JPEGs:

identify -verbose photo_sw.jpg

which yields (besides a bunch of other lines):

JPEG-Colorspace: 1
JPEG-Sampling-factors: 2x1

The color subsampling does not make sense (as far as I can see) as this is a grayscale image, which is indicated by "colorspace 1". Most programs therefore ignore this entry and display these JPEGs correctly. FrameMaker doesn't.

Is this to be considered as a bug? Is there any workaround? These problems just occur when I have digital photographs a the source for convert.
