2.7. LCh Components Layer Modes

The LCh group contains layer modes that make use of the LCh color model. LCh stands for Lightness, Chroma, Hue. It is mathematically derived from the CIELAB reference color space. See also CIELCh.

LCh-nyans

Figur 8.41. Exempel för lagerläget LCh-nyans

Exempel för lagerläget ”LCh-nyans”

Top layer at 100% opacity using LCh Hue mode.


LCh Hue mode corresponds to HSV Hue but is based on different mathematical formulas.

LCh Chroma

Figur 8.42. Example for layer mode LCh Chroma

Example for layer mode ”LCh Chroma”

Top layer at 100% opacity using LCh Chroma mode.


LCh Chroma mode corresponds to HSV Saturation but is based on different mathematical formulas.

LCh-färg

Figur 8.43. Exempel för lagerläget LCh-färg

Exempel för lagerläget ”LCh-färg”

Top layer at 100% opacity using LCh Color mode.


LCh Color mode is a combination of LCh Chroma and LCh Hue, and corresponds to HSV Color, but is based on different mathematical formulas. See A tutorial on GIMP's very awesome LCH Blend Modes for information on using this layer mode.

LCh-ljushet

Figur 8.44. Exempel för lagerläget LCh-ljushet

Exempel för lagerläget ”LCh-ljushet”

Top layer at 100% opacity using LCh Lightness mode.


LCh Lightness mode corresponds to HSV Value, but is based on different mathematical formulas. See A tutorial on GIMP's very awesome LCH Blend Modes for information on using this layer mode.

Luminans

Figur 8.45. Exempel för lagerläget Luminans

Exempel för lagerläget ”Luminans”

Top layer at 100% opacity using Luminance mode.


Luminance mode is similar to CIE luminance, but does not alter saturation. It divides the upper layer luminance by the lower layer luminance; then uses that result to multiply with the lower layer component.
