More than likely, it takes the color value and just converts it to
grayscale.  I doubt they get more sophisticated than that, though they
could...somewhat.  You could possibly separate chrominance from luminance,
and somehow work with the data in that space, and get better actual
grayscale "data"...but I haven't do any work in that....yet.
