- To Grey - convert colour illustrations to grey.
-
- (c) Copyright 1995, flip phillips

-
- v 1.1
-
- Fixed a bug that would cause Illustrator to crash in some (all?) circumstances
- on 68K machines.
-
- v 1.0
-
- This is a quick plug-in i did for converting Illustrator images into greyscale
- from colour. Just drop it into your 'Plug-Ins' filter and you're off. It
- appears as 'To Greyscale' in your 'Colors' menu.
-
- It is a fat plug-in which will run a bit faster on a PowerMac since the
- conversion happens in floating point.
-
- Three main things aren't converted (and alerts will notify you if you try),
- 1) Placed Images (you can run the filter on the actual image...)
- 2) Gradients
- and
- 3) Patterns.
-
- Custom colours are converted, as is text, however I haven't tested the text
- very well.
-
-
-
- Let me know if you find bugs, etc. At some point I'll probably add a
- brightness/contrast control and asjustment of the coeficients are used for
- the conversion.
-
- The plug-in is guilt-ware, but remains mine, copyrighted, etc.
- Enjoy as best you can.
