Why grayscale?

Black and white photos look classic, timeless, artistic. Newspapers, documents, forms often need B&W photo. Grayscale also makes text overlay more readable – color photo distracts, B&W keeps focus on text. Partial grayscale 25-50% gives faded vintage look. Full B&W for passport, portfolio, artistic prints.
