Andrius Pixelmator Team. Pixelmator Community. Follow thread. Thu Jun 06, pm Wow — I opened Pixelmator Pro with the intention of mapping the lightness values of a grayscale image to those of a gradient sometimes called "gradient map" or "gradient colourize" , and realized I couldn't work out how. The closest effects I can find are Color Monochrome involving only one colour , and False Color involving only two. Does this effect not exist in Pixelmator Pro, or am I missing it?
I bet there are other clever ways to do this as well; I'd be grateful for suggestions. Sat Jun 08, am Hi Starfia. I came across this exact problem a while back and I've got to admit that I cheated. I want back to the original Pixelmator that has an effect called 'Infrared' which maps a fixed range of rainbow colours onto a monochrome range. This effect didn't transition across to Pixelmator Pro but your post got me wondering what I would do if I wanted to fine-tune the effect.
I drew a blank on clever ways, so here's brute force and ignorance: 1. With a copy of your monochrome layer add the Threshold, Mask to Alpha, and False Color Effects we're just using that last one to create a colour. Add Gaussian blur if you want a softer effect. I didn't. Set the Threshold to zero and the bottom colour of False Color to Purple.
Duplicate this layer, up the Threshold a bit and move the False Colour up the rainbow 4. Continue until Red. This creates a set of discrete colours that map to the monochrome image. Disadvantages: Manual. Doesn't blend colours like a gradient would. Advantages: Easy to tweak to get exactly what you want. Hope this helps a bit. Maybe someone else can come up with something better. Sun Jun 09, am Thank you for the reply, Stef. As it happens, I'm in a situation where I want to remap an image with a total of four colours, so something like this might actually get me by this time.
Sun Jun 09, pm I'm glad I could help. It's not a bad workaround but I don't think that it's a direct replacement for the effect you describe. Hopefully that will make it to Pixelmator Pro as it's something that I would find useful.
Mon Jun 10, am A gradient map feature is definitely a great idea — I've added this to our feature request list and we'll consider it. Love the inventiveness there, Stef! It would be awesome to have it in Pixelmator Pro. Tue Dec 22, pm by admirerden Wow, thanks a lot! You are awesome! Damn I love Pixelmator!
