Greyscale Node

The Greyscale effect lets you convert a colour image to greyscale. This example demonstrates what happens when you set the greyscale to 100% using the Greyscale node.

You can also use the Contrast node to adjust the darkness and lightness of the pixels in your element.

To see some advanced usage of the Greyscale node's matte port, see Using the Greyscale Matte Port .
