pamhue - change a Netpbm image's hues
pamhue [-huechange=[degrees]] filename
Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable. You may use double hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value.
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pamhue shifts the hue of every pixel in an image by the same amount.
If the image is in a black and white or grayscale format, the image is fully desaturated, so the hue is meaningless and pamhue leaves the image unchanged.
Hue-Saturation-Value, or HSV, is one way to represent a color, like the more well-known RGB. Hue is an indication of the secondary color with the same brightness that most closely approximates the color. A secondary color is made of a combination of at most two of the primary colors.
In the HSV model, hue is an angular position on the color wheel.
With pamhue, you indicate an angle by which to change all the hues in the image; for example you can say move it 60 degrees clockwise. That would change all red pixels to yellow and all yellow pixels to green, etc.
To modify the saturation and value components of the colors, use pambrighten.
To shift the color of each pixel 120 degrees clockwise:
pamhue -huechange=120
To shift the color of each pixel 120 degrees counterclockwise:
pamhue -huechange=-120
In addition to the options common to all programs based on
libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ), pamhue recognizes the following command line
option:
This option is mandatory.
pamhue was new in Netpbm 10.86 (March 2019).
