Is it possible to get f:image or v:media.image or a similar available viewhelper to perform some classic TYPO3 imagemagick stunts, like converting an image to grayscale?
Like
10 = IMAGE
10.file.params = -type Grayscale
Or would I have to extend f:image with an own VH?
And If I'd have to do that: I guess it would be the right approach to just pass on these params to IM/GM, right? Where would I have to look to see how that's correctly done?
See this closed issue https://forge.typo3.org/issues/41347, this feature has existing patch, but was abandoned (see Christian Kuhn comment why -> https://review.typo3.org/#/c/21162/), so now you need an own VH.
Edit:
If you want to have special effects on images you can use CSS property today, just use simple CSS Filters, with pretty nice browsers support today http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-filters
