Contour

The Contour transformation creates contour lines along areas of equal luminance. It can be used to outline features in an image. You have the option of either including the image in the final output or outputting just the contour lines.

 

Number of Contour Lines

Contour lines are equally spaced in brightness.

Contour Line Color

The color of the contour lines.

Background

The background can be the original image or background mode which allows you to choose solid background color. If you pick background mode, the original image is excluded from the output producing a paint by numbers effect.

Background Color

The color of the background in background mode.

Transparency

The transparency of the contour lines.

Smooth

Selects whether the contour lines are smoothed.

Color Space

This control lets you choose how brightness is defined for calculating brightness intervals for contour lines. The choices are HSL and HSV.
