It finds a unique transformation that maps color +\fIfrom1\fP to \fIto1\fP, color \fIfrom2\fP to \fIto2\fP, +and-if \fB-from3\fP and \fB-to3\fP are supplied-color +\fIfrom3\fP to \fIto3\fP. Transformations based on two mappings are linear +in light intensity and those based on three mappings quadratic. The +color-mapping options may be shortened to \fB-f1\fP...\fB-f3\fP and +\fB-t1\fP...\fB-t3\fP. +.PP +Color values have the following format: +\fIcolor\fP[:\fIscale\fP], where \fIcolor\fP is a +.UR libppm.html#colorname + Netpbm color specification +.UE +\& and +\fIscale\fP an optional coefficient that is applied to the intensity +(i.e. \fInot\fP gamma-adjusted) of each RGB component of \fIcolor\fP. +.PP +When the transformation is linear (i.e. uses two mappings) and preserves +zero (i.e. maps black to black), it corresponds to multiplication of light +intensity by a constant and preserves +.BR "color integrity" (1)\c +\&. + + +.UN examples +.SH EXAMPLES +In the examples below, \f(CW\e\fP denotes a line continuation: +.PP +To brighten an image by setting a darker white point- +.nf + pamlevels -f1 black -t1 black \e + -f2 white:0.9 -t2 white in.ppm > out.ppm + +.fi +.PP +To adjust the white point- +.nf + pamlevels -f1 black -t1 black \e + -f2 rgbi:0.9/0.83/0.80 -t2 white in.ppm > out.ppm + +.fi +.PP +To set a lighter black point- +.nf + pamlevels -f1 white:0.06 -t1 black \e + -f2 white -t2 white in.ppm > out.ppm + +.fi +.PP +To increase brightness by compression- +.nf + pamlevels \e + -f1 black -t1 black -f2 white -t2 white \e + -f3 white:0.5 -t3 white:0.6 in.ppm > out.ppm + +.fi +The latter transformation is similar to gamma-correction. + + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm +(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see +.UR index.html#commonoptions + Common Options +.UE +\&), \fBpamlevels\fP recognizes the following +command line options: + + +.TP +\fB-from1\fP +.TP +\fB-to1\fP +.TP +\fB-from2\fP +.TP +\fB-to2\fP +.TP +\fB-from3\fP +.TP +\fB-to3\fP +These options define the mappings of input colors to output colors that anchor +the transformation function. See +.UR #description +DESCRIPTION +.UE +\&. +.sp +You must specify at least two of these pairs. + +.TP +\fB-linear\fP +This option tells \fBpamlevels\fP to work with the intensity-linear +variation on PPM where the samples are proportional to light intensity, rather +than brightness (gamma-adjusted) as in true PPM. The input must be of this +form and the \fBpamlevels\fP makes the output of this form. +.sp +Note that the numbers in a color specification like +\fBrgbi:0.9/0.83/0.80\fP are brightness levels (gamma-adjusted) regardless of +the input and output format. +.sp +You cannot use this with \fB-fitbrightness\fP because that function is +not implemented. + +.TP +\fB-fitbrightness\fP +This option selects a transformation which is not very useful - it is +linear or quadratic in brightness rather than light intensity of the pixels. +There is no physical basis for doing it this way and the result is normally +undesirable. +.sp +Note that many tools other than Netpbm do the transformation this way. One +use for this option is simply to demonstrate the poor result of this method. +.sp +One advantage of this transformation is that it is faster, because the +input and output image formats use brightness values. The result is +approximately correct. +.sp +You cannot use this with \fB-linear\fP because that function is not +implemented. + + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pnmnorm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamrecolor" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pnmgamma" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pnm" (1)\c +\& + +.UN author +.SH AUTHOR +.PP +This program was first submitted by Anton Shepelev +(\fIanton.txt@gmail.com\fP). + +.UN history +.SH HISTORY +.PP +\fBpamlevels\fP was new in Netpbm 10.83 (June 2018). +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
