Menu: Image


You can manipulate image using this menu popup.
Image signals, that effect is applied just to whole image (this means it can't be applied to selected image part - SELECTION).

Effectshere you can find all standard effects, you can apply on image (or in most cases to it's part).
Colorshere are all effects working with color values of image(or part of image)
RGB->...changes order of RGB to selected order
Make greyscale - lightnesscreates copy of image in grey colors - uses Lightness from HSL colorspace of image. This is better way than following function...
Make greyscale - sumcreates copy of image in grey colors - uses algorihtm COLOR=(R+G+B)/3...
Negativecreates negative of image
Remove greyscale colorsremoves greyscale colors from image and replaces them using selected color (usable for OCR programs)
Isolate RGB/CMYK color itemIsolates selected channel from proper colorspace of image (RGB or CMYK) to relevant color channel of image (and removes other channels) - all is happening on virtual level! If you have selected isolation to greyscale colors, channel will be isolated to grey colors.
Isolate HSV/YUV color itemDoes the same as previous function, but isolates H, S, V or Y, U, V - all channels are isolated to greyscale (because they doesn't contain color informations in style of RGB or CMYK :(
3D Buttoncreates 3D button using specified parameters
Blurblurs image using standard blur
Contrastusing this, I think very useful, function can you change contrast of image (eg. difference between light and dark parts of image). Higher input values will give image more contrast and lower values vice versa.
DecolorifyDecreates maximum number of color intensities for single channel (it's a good method for decreasing of colors count)
Dim image to blackdecreases lightness of image
Embosscreates a 3D sculpture from image
Enhance imageincreases contrast between pixels by selected ratio
Explosion'Explodes' pixels so image is looking like it was ... exploded :-)
Edge detectfinds edges in image. The more is edge sharp, that more will be output color more bright...
Flip imageflips image (image will be upside down)
Interlacecreates lines in selected part of image (using specified direction and separation) - it's usable eg. by resizing of images
Make gradientcreates gradient of selected type
Median filterThis functions is very good for removing noise from images - but it has one small fault - it removes thin lines from image too. When you're applying it, you can use strenghts between 3 and 33, but number must be a multiple of 3, otherwise it will be rounded to nearest multiple of 3...
Mirrorcreates mirror copy of image
Motion blurblurs image using motion in specified direction, count of moves and step of moves)
Noiseadds noise to image
Oilpaintcreates oilpainting from image by bluring it using many small areas.
Pixelizeblurs selection using rectangles of specified size. After effect is applied, you will be able to see just the avarage colors that were under rectangles...
Rotate leftrotates image left
Rotate rightrotates image right
Shakemoves each line to left or right by random amount and then each column to up or down (also by random amount). Place that is not be occupied by line or column is colored using selected color.
Sloped colorsBlurs image so it looks oil-painted image after it was sloped by a temper (an then it flowed down)
ThresholdThis function is there for decreasing count of colors in image to two, using lightness of pixels of image. You can set threshold value and two colors, which will be used to highlight two different intensities. For algorithm description, check this.
User definedThis function enables user to define his own filter - read this manual for more informations.
PaletteHere you can find all functions working with images' palette (some function are working just for images with bpp smaller or equal to 8)
Count colors usedUsing this function you can retrieve count of unique colors used in image.
Edit paletteIf image's bpp is smaller or equal to 8BPP, you can change colors from palette using this function - in dialog box can you double-click on color you want to change and change it to other...
HistogramThis functions is showing user color structure of image - here is the descrition
Export paletteIf image's is smaller or equal to 8BPP, you can export palette in one of the following formats:
Jasc formatFormat of palette used in program PaintShop Pro¡¡«
UniView formatBinary format of palette - first byte is (count_of_colors-1) (so there can be 1 to 256 colors), and then sequentialy R, G and B channels of each palette entry...

Change color depthusing this function you can decrease count of colors in image (or increase). More informations can you get here.
Resize imageusing this function you can change size of image. More informations can you get here
Change color attributesif you want to change attributes of colors for a selection, use this function. More informations can you get here
Pen attributesafter executing this function a dialog box will appear. You can set pen's type, size and color in it.
Select pen colorusing this function, you can select color of pen.
