Open an image. Avoid working on lower compression JPGs (I recommend
working on 16 -bits images). Run the action. A duplicate of the original
image will be created.
You will be prompted to change the "Pin Light" blending mode in the
Calculations window (the 'Pin Light' blending mode produces a neutral
effect similar to Photoshop's grayscale).
Deploy the mask options and manipulate the mode of the 3 channels. Try
not to pick a channel that increases the overall image noise. In addition,
you can fine tune the overall effect by changing the opacity, in the
Calculations window.
Finally, when the action finishes you can adjust the opacity of the "BW
layer" from 100% to 0% to manipulate the degree of desaturation.
The actions are designed to work in both Windows and MacOS platforms.
You will need:
1. Photoshop 6 or higher
2. An application (such as Winzip or WinRAR) that decompresses zip files.
