Details
This action converts grayscale TIFF files into Black and White TIFF files.The ConvertGraytoBW action is especially good at converting color dropout forms, including medical claims, scanned in grayscale to black and white. The action categorizes each pixel in the image as either foreground (black), dropout (red / light gray), or background (white), to produce a final black and white image without the dropout color.
Attention: The
action renames the original grayscale image using the same base file
name, but replaces the .tif filename extension with .tis.
