Frequently Asked Questions

Which algorithm should I use?

Luminosity is best for photos (matches human perception). Average is simple and fast. Lightness preserves more contrast.

What is the difference between algorithms?

Luminosity weights green more (human eyes are more sensitive to green). Average treats all colors equally. Lightness uses min/max values.

Will this work with transparent images?

Yes! Transparency (alpha channel) is preserved. Only the RGB colors are converted.
