Command “Extract Component” applied with default options.

This command allows you to extract one specific color component from the current layer. This will be represented as a grayscale layer. It is similar to Decompose, except that it extracts only one component and the effect is performed on the current layer instead of creating a new image.

  These options are described in Sekcio 8.1.2, “Colors Common Features”.

Component

  Component to extract. Default is RGB Red: all layer pixels that have the red component in their color will be extracted to create gray pixels; gray pixel value is that of the red channel (e.g a 153;70;17 RGB pixel will give a 153;153;153 gray pixel).

Invert component

  Invert all pixel values of the extracted component.

Linear output

  Use linear output instead of gamma corrected.
