how do I use microsoft paint to convert a colour picture into a grayscale on

I'm sure it can but looking thru all the help topics I can't find how to do
it.

Anyone know where ?

B&W not grayscale (sic)
but with the image open click Image =>attributes, then tick Black and
white.
Can see no way to get an image into grayscale but is this suitable?

Why would you want to use such a terrible program? Go get a free
graphics editor, with so much more capabilities. I recommend IrfanView,
and yes, there is a menu choice named: "Convert to Greyscale"

One click changes a full-color JPG to black-and-white.

Can't, download http://www.irfanview.com/ it's a much better graphic
program and will convert to greyscale. It's free and very handy to
have available.

I saw the BW option, but it just turns the picture into one big blob of
blackness

Someone else suggested http://irfanview.com/ so I'm gonna put microsoft
paint to one side
and try this (and others if need be) progs.

I guess Microsoft paint wasn't as as I thought it was .

Download the best free program for viewing, resizing, color changes,
gamma changes and lots of other stuff. Of course you can also convert
to grayscale.

Irfanview is not an editor, but a viewer with limited post-processing
functions and filters.

The GIMP is an editor.

Already mentioned - Irfanview which is probably the most useful
freeware there is. Not only will it convert to grayscale at a click ,
it can do image enhancements , thumbnails , slideshows and so on. It
will also play most video formats including .mov but not .rm
I use it as my default image viewer which gives me a lot of facilities
just a click away.
