conversion/reduction to shades of gray
Usually, I'd suggest "conversion to grayscale" but this seems too technical, shades of gray is more appropriate IMO.

dilution into shades of grey
A specialist photo inkjet printer uses more shades of ink – so-called “photo inks” – and smaller-than-usual dots, enabling it to achieve smoother blends and a greater range of colours than its “general purpose” counterpart, A six-colour inkjet uses dilute versions of cyan and magenta as well as the normal CMYK. Eight-colour models are also available, typically additionally using a light shades of yellow and a grey ink. The latter addresses the traditional problem with the printing of black-and-white photos on an inkjet, eliminating the green tinge that can result from diluting black ink into shades of grey.

: No. Dilution means reducing the concentration. You don't convert a colour pic into shades of grey by diluting anything.//Dilution has nothing to do with it. Full stop.

Reducing concentration is exactly what I have in mind. It's part of the question. Where does it read "conversion"? It's about skills of an artist, not any computer tasks./Where is your own suggestion?

Apologies to Klaus. I've just read his answer and seen that 'grayscale' has been discounted.
