Apply Black and White to a layer?

Hi,

I would like to convert a layer in to Black and White. I have done it manually, I have select it in the following:

Image Menu --> Adjustments --> Black & White.

How do i apply the effect through scripting? Could you please guide me on this.

thanks,

Rajiv.S

Record the ScriptingListener code for the creation of a B&W Adjustment Layer, then use that and combine it with something like

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.merge()

or

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.grouped = true

to merge or Clipping Mask it to the underlying Layer.

I can't merge the layer with the Background Layer.

I need to get average of that layer.

Yes! I got it! Thanks!

so I assumed you want to change just one Layer to black & white.
