Grey Shaders

Greyscale conversion GLSL shaders applied to a sample image.

This is a tool for programmers — It does not convert images.

When converting an image from color to greyscale the perceived brightness of each color is matched with its equivalent greyscale tone. The Grey Shaders app includes 7 GLSL shaders that convert a sample color image to greyscale. Users can toggle between the greyscale versions and the original full-color image for optimal A/B comparison.

To switch between the shaders, tap anywhere in the top-right or top-left of the image to move forward/back in the list. Tap anywhere on the bottom of the image to toggle between the full-color image and the currently-selected greyscale image. Toggling between the color and greyscale versions of an image allows the user to carefully inspect the results of each shader.
