Method

Vips Imagepremultiply

Declaration [src]


int
vips_premultiply (
  VipsImage* in,
  VipsImage** out,
  ...
)

Description [src]

Premultiplies any alpha channel.

The final band is taken to be the alpha and the bands are transformed as:

alpha = clip(0, in[in.bands - 1], max_alpha) norm = alpha / max_alpha out = [in[0] * norm, ..., in[in.bands - 1] * norm, alpha]

So for an N-band image, the first N - 1 bands are multiplied by the clipped and normalised final band, the final band is clipped. If there is only a single band, the image is passed through unaltered.

The result isVIPS_FORMAT_FLOAT unless the input format isVIPS_FORMAT_DOUBLE, in which case the output is double as well.

max_alpha has the default value 255, or 65535 for images tagged asVIPS_INTERPRETATION_RGB16 or VIPS_INTERPRETATION_GREY16, and 1.0 for images tagged as VIPS_INTERPRETATION_scRGB.

Non-complex images only.

Optional arguments

max_alpha: gdouble, maximum value for alpha
