I can't understand why
doesn't leave me with a directory of only grayscale .tifs. The resizing works fine.

I've had this problem for a while now, meaning with all of the recent 8-bit windows-releases I tried it with, so it must be a mistake of mine.

Can anyone help me to mogrify my files to grayscale?

Greetings,

That should work. However I think the difference between -type and colorspace is currently very confusing. neither is a proper operator in IM.
They are hold over from the IM version 5 days and probably needs some bug fixing to properly define them.

I am currently hitting simular problems in IM examples where I had to force
images into greyscape using a slow -fx intensity, as using -colorspace stuffs up later operations.

As such I would say some bug fixing is needed in this area by someone who knows what is going on internally in IM.
