[GRASS-user] RGB to Grayscale

[Travis Kirstine]

Hi All,
I am trying to convert a RGB image to a single band grayscale image by
converting the RGB to HIS then exporting the Hue and Intensity (I
would like to export a grayscale geotiff with gdal).  Am I correct in
that a "true" greyscale image is just the hue and intensity, and is it
possible to merge the bands to a single band image?  Any help would be
great
