Author rgb2gray behaves differently in V6.5 and V7

Hi all,

I used rgb2gay function to convert a uint8 RGB image into gray image.
Used both V6.5 and V7.3, and surprisingly found that they gray
images are definitely different. Anyone has the same experience, and
anyone can tell why? Thanks.

In version 5 of the Image Processing Toolbox, rgb2gray was modified to
make it faster and take less memory. At the same time, a rounding
problem was corrected. For input images with integer data types, the
previous version of rgb2gray truncated fractional parts instead of
properly rounding them.

But it seems V6.5 generates a much smoother gray image, than in V7 ??
If there is a way to attach images, I can show you what I mean.

Send me e-mail with your input and output images.
