How to make a photo black and white?

Does grayscale reduce file size?

Yes, grayscale images are typically 30-50% smaller than color images because they store less color data per pixel. Great for saving storage space.

What's the difference between grayscale and desaturate?

Grayscale (100% intensity) removes all color completely. Lower intensity values create a desaturated look 鈥?muted colors rather than pure black and white.

Can I convert only part of an image to black and white?
