I'd like to fix a PNG's gamma value to 1/2.2
. For example, let's say there is a png image whose gAMA
value is 1/4.4
. For some reasons, I have to fix the value to 1/2.2
. So I try convert
command like below.
# 0.5 is led by (1/4.4)/(1/2.2)
# 0.45455 is led by 1/2.2
$ convert orig.png -gamma 0.5 +gamma 0.45455 new.png
Then, I compare two images, orig.png
and new.png
, but they appear to be different.
I guess the formula, (1/4.4)/(1/2.2)
, is wrong. Does anyone know the correct way to do it?
Thanks.
EDITED:
Sorry, but maybe I could not tell you what I really want to do. So, I added more information and sample images.
First of all, I have the below image. This image's gAMA is about 0.227(1/4.4).
And then, I need this image. The image's gAMA is 0.4545(1/2.2) but the appearance is same as the above one.
So, I don't need this. This image's gAMA is also 0.4545(1/2.2), but the appearance is different from the first one.
This seems to work for me in Imagemagick.
convert red44.png -gamma 0.5 -set gamma 0.4545 red22_new.png
identify -verbose red22_new.png
... Gamma: 0.4545 ...
