This program converts color images to grayscale, allowing users to view them in black and white.
This plug-in is a hybrid collection that includes C++ and ExtendScript/JavaScript components, resulting in three plug-in components. These three plug-ins are required for the software to function correctly. You'll need an up-to-date Active Page Item Runtime or equivalent, a scripted plug-in with the .spln file extension called Color2Gray.spln, and a platform-specific plug-in with the .pln file extension called Color2Gray.
It's essential to ensure you have the correct plug-ins installed for your specific version of InDesign because InDesign CS Plug-Ins and InDesign CS2 Plug-Ins are mutually incompatible. The Windows Plug-Ins may not work well on Mac, so it's important to pay attention to which version of the software you're running.
To simplify the installation process, pre-prepared sets of plug-ins are available, allowing users to copy all three components to their plug-ins folder. It's also crucial to read the remarks section as the software may evolve over time, requiring an individual update of some of the plug-ins.
Overall, Lightning Brain Color2Gray for InDesign is an effective and useful tool for those who need to convert color photos to grayscale. It's easy to use and a valuable addition to any designer's toolkit.
