How it works
Each pixel is replaced by its luminance (Rec. 709 weights: 21% red, 72% green, 7% blue), which matches how bright colors look to the eye. Below 100% the gray is blended with the original colors.

FAQ
Is the file smaller?
Slightly for JPG. The file still has three color channels, all identical.
