Frequently Asked Questions
How to grayscale an image with Luminar Neo?
Use the designated Black and White Tool in Luminar Neo in just a click.
Can I adjust the intensity of the grayscale effect?
Of course, you can use the additional sliders to easily control the effect.
Can I apply the grayscale filter to only certain parts of the image?
Use Masking or Layers to apply the effect only to a part of an image.
What impact does the grayscale filter have on image file size?
Applying a grayscale filter to an image typically reduces its file size compared to the original color image. This reduction occurs due to the removal of color information, resulting in a simpler image structure that requires less data to represent. It's important to note that while grayscale images generally have smaller file sizes compared to their color counterparts, the actual reduction depends on the specific characteristics of the image and the file format used for saving.
