I want to desaturate an image form colour to black and white within Houdini. I understand this can be done in a COP2 Network. WHich node would I use to desaturate and which parameter do I adjust?
The image is an HDRI to be used in an Environment Light, so I assume this is the method to use.
How to desaturate image in Houdini (COP2 Network)?

Thanks, how do you show the image in the viewport? Composite View presumably?
OK Got it to work. Thanks.
It shows a desaturated image in the Composite View OK.
If you cook the COP network node, it should show the result in the viewport.

How do I stop the COP2 Network image showing in the Scene View? Presumably I have to put it inside a Geometry node and deactivate its display flag?
You can display another node like a null node.
