I have had the need to create a template, where my users upload images in color. But on the template it needs to appear as greyscale. As FusionPro can not convert the image to greyscale I needed to find another way. My trick is to layer the template. The user image has its own graphic frame. On top of this I place a graphic frame containing a pdf-file. This pdf-file is a greyscale box (50% Black) with blending mode set to Colour. If you think it becomes to reddish, you can make the color C:10 M:0 Y:0 K:45. Then when it is composed the effect of the blending mode applies to all the elements below the graphic frame containing the pdf-file. To print you have to make sure your RIP supports transparency in pdf-files. And the images is not true greyscale. It is still composed of CMYK. Remember that this can be used for other creative purposes. The box could be a gradient instead of just greyscale. You can download my sample-job containing the FusionPro template + assets, the InDesign document with the greyscale box + a composed pdf from FusionPro. You are welcome to contact me, if you have questions to this process. https://files.skabertrang.dk/jh/FusionPro-forum/Make-image-greyscale-in-FusionPro.zip
