Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Here's another original image:
https://postimg.org/image/bpig021c1/

What I'm trying to achieve:
https://postimg.org/image/vguq10pr5/

This is what I get currently...
https://postimg.org/image/3ky9pvqg7/
...using the .NET wrapper:
image.Colorize(new MagickColor("#ffff00"), (Percentage)50);

Instead of washing out the black/white hues, I'd like to only saturate the various shades of grey with shades of whatever hex color I pass in.

If you load up Photoshop, go to Image > Hue/Saturation and configure the HSL for 60/70%/50%, you'll get the desired result.

How would I go about doing this, given these values?

Try this (unix syntax). Please always provide your IM version and platform when asking questions on this forum, since syntax may vary.

If on unix systems, see my script tintilize at the link below.

Thanks a million! Going to try this out

Like the idea fmw42 provided above, I'd probably create a color lookup table to apply to the original image. Using IM7 on a Windows 7 64 system I can get a near match to your "background1_edited.jpg" example with a command like this...
That makes a lookup table which is a gradient running from black to yellow with the hex value "#dddd33" to white. The "-clut" operation applies that table to your "background1_original.jpg" and outputs "output.jpg".

Also as fmw42 mentioned, the exact syntax would depend on your version of IM and your operating system.
