Black and White
The Black&White effect allows converting a color image
to grayscale and (if needed) adding it a color tint (for example, a sepia tone).

Effect Controls:
-
Color to Gray Mixer. The hexagon consists of 6 sections,
each having one color and a control. Use the control to darken or lighten
the gray tones that correspond to the original image colors and are close
to the section color. The closer the control to the center, the darker is
the tone, and vice versa, the farther from the center, the lighter is the
tone.
The default settings can be restored with a left-click
on the gray hexagon in the center.

-
Tint. Choose a color on the gradient circle to add
a color tint to the image. By default, the control is in the center of the
gradient circle and the image has gray tones. You can set a tint with a
left-click on the gradient circle; the control will move to the defined
point. The control also regulates the tint saturation - the farther from
the center, the more saturated is the color shade.

-
Coloration. This parameter allows mixing the resulting
grayscale image with the original one. The values of the parameter vary
between 0 and 100. By default the value is set to 0, which means that there
is no mixing. As you increase the value, the original image gets to be visible
through the grayscale image, adding original colors to it.
Coloration = 25
