True Luminance Grayscale
The filter uses perceptual luminance weights (not a flat average) so reds, greens, and blues convert to grayscale tones that match how the eye sees brightness.
🎞️
Classic Film Look
The resulting grayscale has natural depth — bright highlights, rich midtones, and deep shadows — mimicking the tonal range of black-and-white film photography.
