There are many ways of making an image grayscale (ie removing the colours). One is to lower the saturation: "-modulate 100,0,100".
For example:
Code: Select all
convert in.png -modulate 100,0,100 out.png
Code: Select all
convert %1 ( %2 -modulate 100,0,100 ) ( %3 +level 0,80% ) -compose Over -composite %4

Thank you again.
convert %1 ( %2 -modulate 100,0,100 ) ( %3 +level 0,80%% ) -compose Over -composite %4
This special command line doesn´t work as intended, it results in a greyscaled camo pattern.
But I changed it a little so it composes a greyscaled image of itself onto the coloured original. It patches "grayscale" instead of camo onto the tank. And that I can paste coloured camo on as usual. It´s not as elegant but it works.
convert %1 ( %1 -modulate 100,0,100 ) %3 -compose Over -composite %4
It seems all that easy when you folks do it. To me it´s all mystery and sorcery.
