[tantek] using grayscale on my iPhone reveals very quickly which sites are depending on color alone to differentiate things (like links)

#
[capjamesg] tantek my experience exactly.
#
[capjamesg] Read message indicators in WhatsApp are entirely useless without colour.
#
[tantek] huh. it doesn't say "Read"?
#
[capjamesg] No, just two ticks.
#
[capjamesg] Two blue ticks = read; two grey ticks = sent.
#
[capjamesg] Whereas iMessage says “Read” which I now realise is excellent design.
#
[tantek] wow I never noticed the change in color of the ticks!
#
[tantek] only one ✓ = sent, and ✓✓ = received by their device (but not necessarily read)
#
[Kupietz] play with it later on.
#
[Kupietz] Curious, has anyone looked at how the iOS grayscale algorithm renders different hues? When you're converting a color pic to grayscale in, say, Photoshop, you can't just desaturate the color... hues of red and blue with similar brightness will render as black and near-white, respectively. There's a couple of different algorithms you can use do make "better" grayscale out of color. I'm curious to know how iOS handles it. Will have to
#
[tantek] Sounds like the sort of thing someone would have researched and blogged about. Probably worth doing some web searches
#
[Kupietz] Yeah, I'm on break right now but tonight I'm gonna have a look at it, I'm curious.

[Sophia_wood] when I've played with the new native camera editor, I think it might be sliding through red/green/blue filters
