Grayscale
The Grayscale filter allows you to convert the image into a grayscale image. There are 256 shades of gray. Each pixel is a weighted average of the red, green, and blue components:
A simple average of the colors is (red + green + blue) / 3
A weighted average in common use is (3 * red + 4 * blue + 2 * green) / 9
NTSC and PAL uses 0.299 * red + 0.587 * green + 0.114 * blue
BT.709 uses 0.2125 * red + 0.7154 * green + 0.0721 * blue.
