Non-greyscale black and white


Recommended Posts

I have a need to submit patent drawings which have no greyscale (i.e. precisely no greyscale-all pixels are either 0 or 255). While the "adjustment/curves" feature can be used to approximate that, I need to actually have precisely no greyscale. Is there any way of doing that?

Nope. It uses grayscale
 

 

This adjustment desaturates an image, removing all color information and rendering the image in grayscale.  The resultant image will be reinterpreted in black, white & shades of gray.

You're right, of course. Don't know what I was thinking.

 

How about following the B&W with Adjustments>Posterize, with the number of levels set to 2. That should work.

 

A more flexible choice is Ed Harvey's Threshold plugin. (A disadvantage is that it's part of a large plugin package. They are, however, very useful effects.)
