Can I make a profile for converting colour to grey scale?
A. ICC defines a monochrome profile format ? though that doesn?t mean that all profile making software supports it. Since profiles produce colour transformations by combining an input profile that goes to a standard colour space (PCS), and an output profile that goes from this space, an output profile that converts colour to greyscale would simply define the relationship between the L* channel and the device levels. The creation of gray profiles is not a feature that many profiling applications have, but you can make one quite easily by custom settings in Photoshop’s Color Settings dialog. When you save the settings an ICC profile is generated.
