Converting Graphic Color

You can also convert color graphic to grayscale. Grayscale applies black and white shading values to color graphics, using a variety of gray tones in place of the different colors. When a color is designated as transparent, whenever that color appears in the graphic, the background is visible through it. Graphics can have only one transparent color, and if you select a transparent color for a graphic that already has a transparent color selected, the original transparent color will revert to its original form.
