convert -size 256x256 gradient: -rotate 90 -solarize 50% -level 0x50% grad_solarize50a.png
convert -size 256x256 gradient: -rotate 90 grad.png
convert grad.png -solarize 50% -level 0x50% grad_solarize50b.png
convert -size 256x256 gradient: -rotate 90 grad.jpg
convert grad.jpg -solarize 50% -level 0x50% grad_solarize50c.jpg
