Recently there's been a lot of excitement in the digital camera world among former B&W film afficianodos who are simulating the use of colored filters by manipulating color channels prior to converting a digital image to greyscale. Photoshop has a feature that lets you weight color channels when you recompose them. In Gimp, you can decompose color channels by: Image->Color->Decompose and then later: Image->Color->Compose I understand the function of weighting the channels is not there. Is there some combination of existing functions that would let you re-compose an image as: 0% red, 50% green, 50% blue (i.e., a red-blocking filter) Is there some way to use blending of layers and opacity to do this? Or some other tools or scripts?
