Re: How do I use a colour to mask out pixels?

I just realized my proposed ImageMagick parameter doesn't do exactly what I want, but you get the idea.

Re: How do I use a colour to mask out pixels?

Here's how I translated that for macOS: magick qq.tiff \( -clone 0 -channel RG -separate +channel -threshold 90% \) \( -clone 0 -channel B -separate +channel -threshold 5% -negate \) -background None -compose Darken -layers Merge qq2.tiff I was getting all black output, but I trusted you, so I playe...

Re: How do I use a colour to mask out pixels?

Oh, and yellow must also have Blue <5%. I forgot that.

How do I use a colour to mask out pixels?

I want to mask out (ie, blacken) any pixels that have any blue in them. This is not the same thing as removing blue pixels. I've tested dozens of commands but can't achieve that yet. I've spent hours in the documentation and searching with Google. Actually that's how I'm trying to solve my problem. ...

Re: How do I remove solid colours if I don't know the colours in advance?

It's sorta working now. It's giving me exactly what I specified, I believe, but perhaps not exactly what I wanted. For example now if my source image contains a solid black square on a solid white background, the result is an outline of a white square on a black background. I think I understand why....

Re: How do I remove solid colours if I don't know the colours in advance?

The first thing I had to figure out was that I needed to put the escape character "\" before each parenthesis because I'm on macOS. The second thing I had to figure out was that it doesn't work on PNG files ("convert: profile 'icc': 'RGB ': RGB color space not permitted on grayscale P...

I appreciate the effort! If I can make this work I will use it a lot; I'll let you know.

How do I remove solid colours if I don't know the colours in advance?

I have images which contain both gradients and perfectly solid colours. I want to convert the solid colours, by turning them to solid white. I found examples online which would work if the solid colours were known in advance, but I don't know that information in advance. I'm flexible on the definiti...

Re: Not properly installed on OS X

Is this the information you were asking me for? $ ls $HOME/ImageMagick-6.9.0 bin etc include lib share $ I noticed that BMP was in the list so for now I'm able to manipulate BMP files, which is useful for now. but still, can we make this work? I installed ImageMagick using a standard Mac OS X downlo...

Not properly installed on OS X

I installed ImageMagick 6.9.0 on my OS X Mavericks iMac (newest 5K model). After a few hours I realized I probably also needed to install XQuartz, so I did that too. And I rebooted. But ImageMagick still won't recognize any file I throw at it. Here's an example of what I get: $ export MAGICK_HOME=&q...

Need to count how many pixels are MORE blue than red

I need to count how many pixels in an image (I would prefer the answer reduced to a RATIO from 0 to 1) are "MORE blue than yellow." I have a rectangle PNG file. So for example if the file contained 50% blue pixels and 50% green pixels, the result should be 0.5 since green is an equal amoun...

Re: Trying to get a file's average brightness level

How curious!! The first word of my last post (shown as "???"") was, I recall, just a 3-letter polite word of surprise starting with "W". I'm guessing it was censored. Sorry about that.

I need to display the locations of all the white pixels in my monochrome PNG file (i.e., identify reports it as: trythis3.png PNG 769x550 769x550+0+0 8-bit sRGB 2c 6.14KB 0.000u 0:00.000 ). I've got something that works: " convert trythis3.png sparse-color:- | tr ' ' '\n' | grep white " bu...

Re: How do I filter out red, white, yellow - but keep the gr

I think you are the author of this wonderful utility so I must be extremely nice to you. Thanks for a superb utility. You asked me why I don't simply want the green. Because that produces false results - namely it also produces hits on yellow, white and anything else that includes green. But from th...
