apply a certain gradient color-sheme to a image: - saint_m - 04-11-2026
good day dear experts,
in this thread - i have learned alot: i have seen, that there were awesome color-shemes.
the thread: c.f. https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-color-scala-how-to-define-the-colors-right-with-a-real-example
i (we all) have learned - that we can use wonderful color shemes - such as: LCH - Lightness, Chroma, and Hue:
Quote:LCH stands for Lightness, Chroma and Hue. It is pretty similar to HSL but is modelled after human vision. Oftentimes, it is referred to as HCL color mode.
HCL or LCH - however you may want to call it, provides a consistent lightness of colors as perceived by human eyes. I prefer this color mode as it enables us to generate gradients with consistent lightness. Here’s an example:
cf. https://www.prasannamestha.com/blog/science-of-beautiful-color-gradients
well - i want o apply this on a image: - see here a shematic view:
Code:
colorize this from left to right - with LCH

-.. how to apply the gradient from left to rightthe base plane: with a network
what is aimed: i want to colorize this from left to right - with LCH
should i do this with - some kind of layers - where i have the gradient of the LCH stored in!?
look forward to hear from you
regard
