Overview: Refer to Managing Color Separations.

Remarks

Separates the bitmap by color plane to produce one grayscale bitmap per plane. You can specify any of several color-space models.

The supported color-space models are RGB, CMYK, CMY, HSV, and HLS.

This method supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

If the bitmap is 48 or 64 bits bitmap then the created bitmaps are 16 bits grayscale bitmaps otherwise the created bitmaps are 8 bits grayscale bitmap.

You can use the ColorPlanes property to access the grayscale bitmaps.
