Apply or Remove a Pseudocolor
If the Pseudocolor plug-in is not showing, choose Plugins > Pseudocolor plug-in.
From the Pseudocolor drop-down list, select the desired pseudocolor. The image will be colorized
as desired.
To remove a Pseudocolor, from the Pseudocolor drop-down list, select None.
Reduce Image to Mono
The Reduce to Mono filter reduces a color image to monochrome. This is primarily useful when colors in
an image are distracting rather than informative. For example, if light strikes certain surfaces from some
angles, a "rainbow effect" (prism) will appear. Another use is to adapt for some software packages and
techniques that require monochrome images or which are less reliable on color images.
The Reduce To Mono filter uses a weighted mix of colors to arrive at each pixel's monochrome intensity.
Green is very heavily weighted while blue is almost disregarded.
Click onto Reduce to mono from the Filters plug-in or use the Image > Filters > Reduce to
mono command. Reducing a large image to monochrome may take a few seconds.
Resize Image
The Resize filter allows the image to be changed in size. It replicates or merges pixels as appropriate to
arrive at the new size. Resize most commonly would be used to create a smaller version of a very large
image to allow users to increase response time when applying filters or to import the image into another
software package that does not accept large images.
