An interesting test. I believe your test image has to be flattened to work? Cheers, Rick S. -Original Message- From: Lancer Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2017 8:13 PM To: gimp-user-list@gnome.org Cc: notificati...@gimpusers.com Subject: [Gimp-user] When black and white is not black and

For a quick & dirty contrast test I would get them in the habit of converting to greyscale. This converts the colour space from RGB (or CMYK) to Greyscale...but it may not give them the best perceptual rendering of a colour scene in B&W (greyscale) if what they **want** to end up with is a grey
