Thanks Frank. Now I know I finally did understand it correctly. Am I also
correct in thinking that the only proper way ignorant software (as in that doesn't know about how the image came about or what it is software
intended to contain) can correctly interpret this 3-channel image as a image with 2 extra channels that have no specified grayscale
application/meaning? If ignorant software were to have to render this image,
the correct thing to do is to render the first channel as grayscale, and the others as far as rendering is concerned, is that right? I discard
realize this may also be trivial questions, but this thread is very
confusing.
