Convert opacity value to grayscale luminosity - Purple_ghoost - 08-06-2023
Hello,
I would like to use Gimp to prepare files for riso printing and for this I need to convert each individual color layer from opacity (x%) to greyscale ((100-x)% luminosity).
Precisely, this is the conversion I need:
- [color] at 100% opacity -> black
- [color] at 75% opacity -> grey (25% luminosity)
- [color] at 50% opacity -> grey (50% luminosity)
- [color] at 31 % opacity -> grey (69% luminosity)
etc.
And [color] can be replaced by any existing color. I have one layer per color.
Would you know how to do this? In Photoshop, there is a shortcut to do this at seen here: https://youtu.be/UrFq5KliP04?t=263
This is exactly what I would like to reproduce.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for your answer.
However, I am confused as opacity in Gimp does not correspond to what I expected.
In Photoshop, when you change "opacity", it does not change the tint whereas in Gimp, the tint changes.
Here is an example: hslpicker.com/#005ed1,0.69/#fff
The color I used is RGB(0, 94, 209) or TSL(59, 100, 41). When used in Photoshop with an opacity set to 69% on a white background, the result I get is RGB (79, 144, 223) or TSL(59, 69, 59) as in the hlspicker example above. In Gimp, I get RGB (151, 167, 225) or TSL(63, 55, 74).
What did I get wrong?

New comment on GDSE. Actually a "default" v.s "legacy" blend mode quirk (see screenshot on GDSE).
