Remarks:

The function changes image color space to IG_COLOR_SPACE_ID_Gy. The bit depth of the resulting image will be equal to the maximal channel depth of the source image. If the original image has an Alpha or Pre-multiplied Alpha channel, the image will be blended over a black background to produce the resulting image. If the original image has Extra channels, they will be removed.
