- This filter uses the current gradient, as shown in the
- Brush/Pattern/Gradient area of the Toolbox, to recolor the active
- layer or selection of the image to which the filter is applied. To
- use it, first choose a gradient from the <a href="ch04s12.html" title="12. Gradients dialog">Gradients Dialog</a>. Then
- select the part of the image you want to alter, and activate the
- filter by choosing
- <span class="guimenu">Filters</span>-><span class="guisubmenu">Colors</span>-><span class="guisubmenu">Map</span>-><span class="guimenuitem">Gradient Map</span>
- from the image menu. The filter runs automatically, without
- showing any dialog or requiring any further input. It uses image
- color intensities (0 - 255), mapping the darkest pixels to
- the left end color from the gradient, and the lightest pixels to
- the right end color from the gradient. Intermediate values are set
- to the corresponding intermediate colors.
