RE: [Digital BW] Re: B+W Scans from RGB Scanners

Tyler, I asked my friend Dan Burkholder and here is his reply,

 

 Hey Eric,

 

I asked Julianne Kost of Adobe that very question a few years ago and can't
find her response. I'm pretty sure it was either 70G/20R/10B or
60G/30R/10B...but with my memory who knows. Guess you could manually do
those and see which more closely matches the RGB>Grayscale conversion.

 

But certainly not 100% red.

hey folks, it's well documented what the RGB combo is they use for
straight grayscale conversion, I can't recall what it is though, it's
a mix. I'm sure someone here knows...
