Example of Gradient Mapping. Top: Original image. Middle: a
44
gradient. Bottom: result of applying the gradient to the
45
original image with the Gradient Map filter.
51
This filter uses the current gradient, as shown in the
52
Brush/Pattern/Gradient area of the Toolbox, to recolor the active
53
layer or selection of the image to which the filter is applied. To
54
use it, first choose a gradient from the <a href="ch04s12.html" title="12. Gradients dialog">Gradients Dialog</a>. Then
55
select the part of the image you want to alter, and activate the
57
<span class="guimenu">Filters</span>-><span class="guisubmenu">Colors</span>-><span class="guisubmenu">Map</span>-><span class="guimenuitem">Gradient Map</span>
58
from the image menu. The filter runs automatically, without
59
showing any dialog or requiring any further input. It uses image
60
color intensities (0 - 255), mapping the darkest pixels to
61
the left end color from the gradient, and the lightest pixels to
62
the right end color from the gradient. Intermediate values are set
63
to the corresponding intermediate colors.
