Grayscale on input is already supported, just use /i<grayprofile>.
However, only PHOTOMETRIC_MINISBLACK files will
be correctly translated.PHOTOMETRIC_MINISWHITE will
be reversed.
On output, unfortunately, TIFFICC doesn't work. This is
because lcms (at least in its 1.07 incarnation) doesn't support
gray profiles for output.
The difficulty resides in the way the CMM should interpret a
transform between RGB (or CMYK) and a gray profile...
Should give Y? Luminance? and how relates this with
white/black points?
We are working on this, and expect rev 1.08 will support
output grayscale profiles, and reversed components as well.
If you only need gray to gray, I can send preliminar sources that
does this translation. If you want to extract grayscale information
of a color image ... well, this will take a couple of months.
