GIL offers color conversion to/from grayscale as well as channel_invert.
You will have to read through the documentation and source code to see
if there is anything missing specific for your idea.

As I have already mentioned, here [1] and here [2], contributions to GIL
are welcome: if you have a use case for that and you'd like to
contribute it for GIL, then go for it and feel free to contribute to GIL .
You can propose it as an extension.

If you have any *specific* questions, I suggest you post them to boost-gil.
