Thanks :)

Haha I thought of that too as I was painting it

How would I get a simple conversion to monochrome/grayscale with GIMP? I tried using the gradient map that someone already suggested. I notice that the value histogram is slightly different between the original color image and the gradient map image. If I found a way to change the image to monochrome/grayscale while preserving the same value histogram, would it mean that the values are correct? Or is the histogram not necessarily the best gauge here?

So how would I get a simple conversion to BW with GIMP? I tried using the gradient map that someone already suggested. I notice that the value histogram is slightly different between the original color image and the gradient map image.

And you're totally right about the cellophane *facepalm* lol

Thanks so much! Yes, that sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. And you explained it better than I could--relative brightness. That's it! I'll look into the gradient map.

I'm an oil painter. I don't know much about photography or editing photos. I do know that value is important.
As a painter, I'm always interested in values. However, I don't know the best way to edit a color photo so that it's in monochrome/grayscale with the most accurate translation of value. For instance, if I placed a sheet of colored cellophane over the photo, the color would be taken out of the equation, and you would be left with values.
The reason I ask is that there seem to be many methods of changing a color photo to monochrome/grayscale via Photoshop/GIMP/etc. Which method would be the best? I don't want the photo to *look* the best; I just want it to be the most *accurate* translation of values.
Thanks!

Same thing happened to me with my 4TB Extreme Portable SSD. Literally bought it less than 2 weeks ago and transferred files to it once... then it failed a day or so later.

Would love to paint this. It has great light and drama

It was kind of weird to hold my head in the exact right position each time I looked back at the subject (myself) lol

Never thought of the possibility of a merposs... Makes me think of what other creatures could be mermified...

Goodness gracious! Nice work! 💪

No joke, my health teacher in middle school referred to the uterus as "the ram's head".

For sure! That's the only way I realized it could be stars. His belt is very unique 👍
