Converting a full-color image to black and white involves mapping RGB channels to a single luminance value. This tool uses standard luma coefficients standard in high-definition television encoding:
\[Y = 0.299 \times R + 0.587 \times G + 0.114 \times B\]The resulting luminance value is assigned back to all three channels (Red, Green, Blue) to produce a perfect gray tone for each individual pixel.
