Partial gamma correction

Post by cjanice »

I have a RGB image and I would like to select the first n% of red, green and blue for gamma correction while leaving the other pixels unchanged.

How can I do it in ImageMagick with version 6.7.8-9 on Linux?

I don't understand the question.

A required operation often breaks down into:
- what changes do I want?
- where do I want those changes?

A solution is to clone the input, apply the changes to that clone, then composite the clone over the original using a mask that is white where we want the changes and black where we don't.

For your problem, the mask might come from "select the first n% of red, green and blue" but I don't know what that means.
