Answer 1

I made a little comparison based on the following solutions.

• The approaches in the link provided by the OP
• The links provided by Thomas Levesque
  • AutoDisabledImage
  • AutoGreyableImage
• Greyscale Effect

Since I already had a licens for the Infragistics Net Advantage for WPF it was easy to try it out

Here is the result

So the best approach depends on what results you are after. As for me, I think the result produced by AutoDisabledImage from Infragistics is too bright, AutoGreyableImage does a pretty good job (Identical result to Approach 1 (OP link)) and GreyscaleEffect produces the best result.
