Scanning Grayscale

Well since I talked about scanning black and white images, I figured I'd ad this quick thing about scanning grayscale images.

1. I would scan it as RGB color. (Again to capture as much info as possible from the scanner.)
2. Open it in Photoshop and then use the Channel Mixer (IMAGE>ADJUSTMENTS>CHANNEL MIXER) In the Channel Mixer dialog click on the Monochrome option and use the sliders to adjust what colors are going to be prominant in the resulting grayscale conversion. Once you get it how you like it click ok.
3. Then do the final conversion to grayscale (IMAGE>MODE>GRAYSCALE)
