USAGE: tintilize [-m mcolor] [-c contrast] [-o offset] [-t type] infile outfile [lutfile]
USAGE: tintilize [-m mcolor] [-c contrast] [-o offset] [-t type] lutfile
USAGE: tintilize [-h or -help]

-m .... mcolor ........... Color for mid range of grayscale; Any valid IM color is allowed;
.......................... The default=gray50
-c .... contrast ......... percent contrast change; integers; -100<=contrast<=100; default=0
-o .... offset ........... percent color offset; integers; -100<=offset<=100; default=0
-t .... type ............. Type of look up table (lut) smoothing/interpolation; choices are:
.......................... cubic, quadratic, gaussian, triangle; default=quadratic

PURPOSE: To apply a color tint to the mid-range of a grayscale image.

DESCRIPTION: TINTILIZE applies a color tint to the mid-range of a grayscale image. If the input image is color, it will be converted to grayscale first. The script generates a color look up table (lut) and applies it against the grayscale version of the image. The lut can be saved, if desired, for future use and will have a size of 256x20 pixels.

ARGUMENTS:

-m mcolor ... MCOLOR is the color to use in the mid grayscale range. The default=gray50. Any valid IM color is allowed. See http://imagemagick.org/script/color.php For tinting, a good choice of colors may be specified as hsl with saturation about 25% and lightness about 50% and your choice of hue in range 0 to 360 degrees. For reference, see http://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/css/hsl-examples.html

-c contrast ... CONTRAST is the percent change in color contrast. Values are integers such that -100<=contrast<=100. The default=0.

-o offset ... OFFSET is the percent shift of the colors in the lut. Values are integers such that -100<=offset<=100. Positive values shift the colors towards the brighter end of the grayscale and negative values shift the colors towards the darker end of the grayscale. The default=0.

-t type ... TYPE of smoothing/interpolation of the colors to fill out the look up table. The choices are: cubic, gaussian, quadratic and triangle. The default=quadratic.

CAVEAT: No guarantee that this script will work on all platforms, nor that trapping of inconsistent parameters is complete and foolproof. Use At Your Own Risk.

What the script does is as follows:

  • Creates a color look up table image as follows:
    • Appends 1x1 images of black, the desired color and white
    • Resizes to 256x1 using -filter with the type specified
    • Contrast stretches it
    • Stretches/Compresses and Offsets the colors in the image
      according to the contrast and offset specified using -fx
  • Applies the LUT to the image using -clut

This is equivalent to the following IM commands for the luminance colormode.

  • offset=`convert xc: -format "%[fx:$offset*128/100]" info:`
  • convert -size 1x1 xc:black xc:$mcolor xc:white +append \
    -filter $type -resize 256x1! \
    -contrast-stretch 0 \
    -virtual-pixel edge -fx "u.p{(i-(w/2))*(100+$contrast)/(100)+(w/2)-$offset,j}" \
    $tmp0
  • convert $infile $tmp0 -clut $outfile
