I am sorry but I do not have a copy of Elements II to test with however, if you use the image from the article of the three squares, and try both methods, and compare the change in the top row to the two examples I provided, that should provide you answer. In the new versions of Elements/CS2, you can convert the image to grayscale using the Image=>Mode=>Grayscale command. Hello Cameron,

Having created an image using the "Desaturated" method and also the "Greyscale" method, and saving each, I cannot see any difference at all. In fact both files turned out the same size also. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Cameron Dear Chris,
