can MS PAINT convert to grayscale?

[Greg]

I have someone that doesnt have photoshop or any other photo editing program
that comes to mind other than Paint that comes with Windows. I could have
swore I have done it before but cant find that feature anymore. Does Paint
have a way to convert photos to grayscale?

Hi Greg,

Paint can't do it:

Have them download Gimp. It's free and can easily do the job.

perhaps not, unless
the optin to save as
monochrome will do
it.

however, microsoft provides
a free ware called "live photo
gallery".

with it you can "fix" the color
saturation to near zero,
making the photo b/w.

I don't think Paint can do that but you can download Irfanview for free and
it will do what you want. www.irfanview.com

The free program called Irfanview does this very well. www.irfanview.com
Irfanview can do a lot of basic improvement to photos as well and is easy to learn.

IrfanView is a common free third-party tool that can convert individual
files or batch-convert multiple files to grayscale.
