Version: 0.9.0-beta1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux By this I mean when most of a picture is in grey scale except one element of it. Examples: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29563427/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29568291/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29566627/ I think this could be made faster if not totally automated, I have a few vague ideas how to do this, but I don't think any of them would work straight. Just an idea, I know it could be quite hard to make it totally automated.
Robert, We need algorithms to process this job (:=)))) Study algorithms from scratch is not possible... Gilles Caulier
Well, if it's any help, here's how I'd do it in a generic image editor: 1 - Duplicate the basic layer 2 - Desaturate the top layer 3 - 'Cut holes in' the top layer so you can see the bits you want to be colour Or: 1 - Duplicate the basic layer 2 - Desaturate the bottom layer 3 - 'Cut out' the bits you want to be colour This should result in what you want, you may need a little 'feathering' at the edges or the odd touch of blur to make it perfect. I hope this helps. -- Robert

Hi Robert and happy new year, Please take a look in GMic Qt plugin for digiKam image editor to see if this kind of tool do not exists yet. Best regards Gilles Caulier
For all digiKam Image Editor advanced improvements, we will delegate this the Gmic-Qt plugin which is stable enough everywhere to be used in production. It include more than 400 filters to use by photographers. https://i.imgur.com/OFerL8H.png
