# Convert to Grayscale

Convert to Grayscale removes all color from the current image, in the same way as Desaturate . However, this also changes the image mode which means that no color can then be added to image. If you choose a color and try to paint on a grayscale image, that color will automatically be desaturated and will appear as a shade of gray.
