Incidentally, if you did want to use get/SetPixels, you can desaturate the colours like this colour = buffer.getPixel(x,y) desatValue = (76*colour.red + 150*colour.green + 29*colour.blue)/256 buffer.setPixel(x, y, RGB(desatValue, desatValue, desatValue)) Though, as others have pointed out, you can create a similar effect much more quickly by remapping the image to Director's #grayscale palette.
