Proof Greyscale

[Ian Leonard]

I have just discovered that if you prof greyscale images (scans) and output to 8bit you get an 8bitpc colour file. This is a disaster for me as I have been planning to use BBP as the preferred application for a large scanning project, 90% of which is B/W prints. Can a greyscale setting be added please. I have no problem viewing and captoning the images, but as they vary in size I was hoping to add some uniformity of size in the process.

The next release will detect whether the proofed image is greyscale when writing TIFFs and will output it as an 8-bit file not a 24-bit file.
