Krita and the GIMP both think they are greyscale on linux. Thanks for the feedback, Peter. I was starting to think that I was going crazy. I guess I'm not! |

If it has a color cast, that suggests the monitor is a tad off.... it looks completely grayscale here, but it most certainly has three color channels, however lacking in saturation! The 3 thumbnails at http://www.justphotos.ca/misc/cnp/ are RGB but the images that are linked to the thumbnails are definitely grayscale with an embedded grayscale profile. I just double-checked. Why do you say they are RGB? My observation was of the first one you linked to that I saw: http://www.justphotos.ca/misc/images/Cnp0720.jpg Definitely RGB- do you recall at what level you saved this? (I ask because on resaving at level 10, the image size increases several fold.) The images linked to above are indeed greyscale, and seem to be the same file number with "-1" appended. -- John McWilliams |

No one (but you, maybe!) thought that. See my reply upstream; there are two sets of images, greyscale ones with -1 appended, and RGB ones without it. -- John McWilliams |

Thank you for the reply. It was confusion on my part. I agree that the 'unframed' image posted at http://www.justphotos.ca/misc/images/Cnp0720.jpg is RGB. I images that I was saying were grayscale are the three images linked to the thumbnails at http://www.justphotos.ca/misc/cnp/ It seems we are agreed that those are grayscale. Great! I don't remember the compression level for any of them. I usually use 6 to 8 depending on how big the file gets. I target around 200 KB for most things that I post. Thanks again. |

I opened them in Photoshop, and the Mode said RGB for both Further, the first image unpacked size is 14.2 MB, and on converting to grayscale in PS the size dropped to 4.74 MB, likewise the second image, from 9.18 MB to 3.06 MB. Colin D. Hi, I'm totally puzzled. I'd really like to understand what is going on that causes people to see these images as RGB. I just ftp'd the 3 images in question from the server back to my PC. These images a http://www.justphotos.ca/misc/cnp/im...038CloseUp.jpg http://www.justphotos.ca/misc/cnp/images/Cnp1514.jpg http://www.justphotos.ca/misc/cnp/images/Falls1924.jpg I then looked at them using Adobe Bridge CS3 and opened them in PS CS3. The file specs from Bridge are shown below. PS CS3 shows the "Mode" as "grayscale". I'm at a loss as to why they are appearing to be RGB to others. Any thoughts? Filename Cnp1038CloseUp.jpg File Size 195 KB Dimensions 1100 x 734 Resolution 72 dpi Color Mode B&W Color Profile Gray Gamma 2.2 Filename Cnp1514.jpg File Size 164 KB Dimensions 1100 x 787 Resolution 72 dpi Color Mode B&W Color Profile Gray Gamma 2.2 Filename Cnp1924.jpg File Size 218 KB Dimensions 1100 x 7377 Resolution 72 dpi Color Mode B&W Color Profile Gray Gamma 2.2 The plot thickens, as they say. Those three images are grayscale. I just re-opened the previous two images, and they are definitely RGB. Hair-pulling time? Colin D. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

It was me that created the confusion. I agree that the image referred to in the OP was RGB. It was only these the three 'framed' images that I was calling grayscale. Sorry for having messed this up. Mystery solved! |
