Thanks for pointing to that issue. I've experimented and tried to work around this yesterday and while doing so, remembered this topic:

> [@Greyscale palette is greatly reduced when resizing images](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/greyscale-palette-is-greatly-reduced-when-resizing-images/60746):

> For grayscale (greyscale) JPEGs, Adjust Cover downsamples the image from 256 to 4 colors and outputs a non-greyscale JPEG. 8-bit grayscale images should maintain their colorspace during and after conversion. Example: Drag attached 1000px 8-bit (256-color) grayscale image into cover art box. Right-click and choose Adjust Cover. Resize to 600px, any quality. Observe unwanted color reduction. Right-click and save the reduced image to a new file. Observe (e.g. in Photoshop) that it's not a graysca…

I gave up on it the last time I've tried, but will give it another go over the coming days and will keep you posted.
