You can apply a color tint to a TIFF file using #Python with libraries like Pillow (PIL) or OpenCV. Below, I'll provide a simple example using Pillow, which is a user-friendly library for image processing.
### Step 1: Install the Required Library
First, make sure you have Pillow installed. You can install it using pip if you haven't already:
pip install Pillow
### Step 2: Create a Script to Apply Color Tint
Here's a simple script that opens a #TIFF file, applies a
#color tint, and saves the tinted image:
from PIL import Image
def apply_tint(image_path, output_path, tint_color):
# Open the image
img = Image.open(image_path).convert("RGBA")
# Create a new image for the tints
tinted = Image.new("RGBA", img.size)
# Apply the tint to each pixel
for x in range(img.width):
for y in range(img.height):
r, g, b, a = img.getpixel((x, y))
# Apply tint color
r = int(r * tint_color[0])
g = int(g * tint_color[1])
b = int(b * tint_color[2])
tinted.putpixel((x, y), (r, g, b, a))
# Save the tinted image
tinted.save(output_path, format='TIFF')
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Define the tint color as a tuple (R, G, B) where each value is between 0 and 1
tint_color = (1.0, 0.5, 0.5) # Apply a red tint
apply_tint("input_image.tiff", "output_image.tiff", tint_color)
### Explanation of the Script:
1. Imports: The script imports the necessary
Image
class from the Pillow library.
2. Function Definition: The
apply_tint()
function takes three parameters: the input image path, the output image path, and the tint color.
3. Open Image: It opens the input TIFF image and converts it to "RGBA" format to handle transparency.
4. Create Tinted Image: It creates a new blank image of the same size as the input image.
5. Apply Tint: For every pixel, it adjusts the red, green, and blue values by multiplying them with the specified tint color. The tint color should be given as a tuple with values from 0 to 1 for each color channel.
6. Save Image: Finally, it saves the tinted image as a TIFF file.
### Usage
Replace "input_image.tiff"
with the path to your TIFF file and specify the desired output path in
"output_image.tiff"
. You can adjust
tint_color
based on the tint effect you want to achieve.
### Note:
This script works for RGBA images and multiplies the color values to apply the tint. You can modify the tint_color
tuple to achieve different tints (e.g.,
(0.5, 0.5, 1.0)
would give a blue tint). Adjustments can also be made based on specific needs, such as different blending modes or efficiencies, especially for larger images.
