RGBAdjust

Revision as of 03:18, 27 January 2016

Multiplies each color channel with the given value, clipping the result at 0—255.

Syntax and Parameters

RGBAdjust(clip clip [,
     float r, float g, float b, float a,
     float rb, float gb, float bb, float ab,
     float rg, float gg, float bg, float ag,
     bool analyze, bool dither ] )

float  r = 1.0

float  g = 1.0

float  b = 1.0

Red, green and blue scaling factor. Range 0.0 to 255.0

For example, r=3.0 multiplies the red channel pixel values by 3.

float  a = 1.0

Alpha adjustment—the transparency information on a per-pixel basis.

An alpha value of zero represents full transparency, and a value of 1 represents a full opacity.

float  rb = 0.0

float  gb = 0.0

float  bb = 0.0

float  ab = 0.0

Bias adjustment—add a fixed positive or negative value to a channel's pixel values. For example,

rb=16 will add 16 to all red pixel values and

rb=-32 will subtract 32 from all red pixel values.

float  rg = 1.0

float  gg = 1.0

float  bg = 1.0

float  ag = 1.0

Gamma adjustment—an exponential gain factor. For example,

rg=1.2 will brighten the red pixel values and

gg=0.8 will darken the green pixel values.

bool  analyze = false

If true, RGBAdjust will print color channel statistics on the screen (see example below)

• There are Maximum and Minimum values for all channels.
• There is an Average and a Standard Deviation for all channels.
• There is Loose Minimum and Loose Maximum which ignore the brightest and darkest 0.4% (1/256) pixels.

bool  dither = false

If true, ordered dithering is applied when doing the adjustment.

Notes

• All arguments default—leaves the clip untouched:

RGBAdjust(1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1) 

• Keep in mind ALL the channels are not scaled to accommodate changes to one—for that you should use Levels.

So doing something like:

RGBAdjust(2, 1, 1, 1) 

will get you a whole lot of clipped red. If you WANT a whole lot of clipped red, there ya go - but if you want MORE red without clipping you'd do

Levels(0, 1, 255, 0, 128).RGBAdjust(2, 1, 1, 1) 

This would scale all the levels (and average luminance) by half, then double the red. Or more compact

RGBAdjust(1.0, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0)

This leaves the red and halves the green and blue.

• To invert the alpha channel

RGBAdjust(a=-1.0, ab=255)

Thus alpha pixels values become a=(255-a).

Examples

• Demonstrating analyze output

FFmpegSource2("sintel.mp4")
RGBAdjust(analyze=true)
