I design ads for both newspaper, and web, and have often found myself working on one ad that will be used for both. When the ads run in the newspaper, they are in grayscale, so when I’m designing something for just the paper, I put together the ad in grayscale.
However, when I’m working on something that will run online and in print, I design in color, and then drop to grayscale at the end. At this point, I often discover colors that don’t quite work in grayscale, and I end up having to do a lot of extra work to make the ad look good.
Is there any sort of filter, or special tool I can use so that I can switch the image to grayscale (without losing color information) to check and work on things, and then switch back to color.
Constantly going up to Image->Adjustments->Desaturate, and then having to undo the result before I change anything is not really a very efficient way of going about things.
Thanks,
Jeff
