Color Reduce
Reduces the full range of color in an image down to two, three, or four colors that you
select. Depending on the number of substitute colors you choose in the Reduce To
parameter, this filter breaks down the full range of colors in the image into a color range
for each Match Color parameter that’s available. It then substitutes the selected Replace
With color for each interpreted range of color.
If two colors are selected, all color information in the object is reduced to the selected
two colors; if three, they are reduced to three; and so on.
