Technicolor 3-Strip v2 Input Parameters:

image

The image parameter is the primary input for the Technicolor3Strip_v2 node, where you upload the digital image you wish to process. This parameter accepts a list of image files from your input directory, allowing you to select the desired image for transformation. The function of this parameter is to provide the base material upon which the Technicolor effect will be applied. The impact of this parameter on the node's execution is significant, as the quality and characteristics of the input image will directly influence the final output. There are no specific minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but the image should be in a compatible format for processing.

channel

The channel parameter allows you to select which color channel (alpha, red, green, or blue) will be emphasized or manipulated during the Technicolor process. This selection can affect the intensity and balance of colors in the final image, offering you creative control over the visual outcome. The available options for this parameter are "alpha," "red," "green," and "blue," each corresponding to a different aspect of the image's color composition. By choosing a specific channel, you can highlight certain colors or create unique effects that enhance the Technicolor aesthetic.

Technicolor 3-Strip v2 Output Parameters:

MASK

The MASK output parameter represents the processed image after the Technicolor effect has been applied. This output is a transformed version of the input image, showcasing the vibrant and distinct color palette typical of the Technicolor three-strip process. The importance of this output lies in its ability to convey the desired vintage aesthetic, making it a valuable asset for projects that aim to evoke a sense of nostalgia or historical authenticity. The MASK output is typically a tensor that can be further manipulated or used in subsequent processing steps, depending on your creative goals.
