5 | # PNG Gamma trick (by @marcan42 / [email protected]) | |
6 | # | |
7 | # This script implements an improved version of the gamma trick used to make | |
8 | # thumbnail images on reddit/4chan look different from the full-size image. | |
9 | # | |
10 | # Sample output (SFW; images by @Miluda): | |

15 | # Some backstory, explanation and example (slightly NSFW): | |
16 | # https://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/6e6lga/a/di83t02/ | |
17 | # | |
18 | # No idea who came up with the concept; this is an old trick, but past | |
19 | # implementations I've seen were less correct than this one :-) | |
20 | # | |
21 | # This trick works on at least Reddit, 4chan and similar imageboards, Google | |
22 | # Drive, Slack, and probably many others. It does not work on Twitter, as | |
23 | # Twitter always preprocesses PNG images and strips the gAMA chunk. It does, | |
24 | # however, work with e.g. imgur embed previews on Twitter. | |
25 | # | |
26 | # *Different* one-liner trick that works on Twitter (for grayscale images): | |

43 | # Since the low image will be washed out, use gamma to darken it a bit, then | |
44 | # reduce its brightness to ensure that its pixels become black after PNG gamma. | |
45 | # 77% brightness gets crushed down to 0x00 or 0x01, enough for our purposes. | |

47 | ||
48 | # To get rid of the slight "halo" of the high image, we're going to cancel it | |
49 | # out from the low image. The equation that we need is: | |
50 | # output = ¾low + ¼ (what we want, for high = white) | |
51 | # output = ¾output_low + ¼high (what we get) | |
52 | # Solve for output_low: | |
53 | # ¾output_low + ¼high = ¾low + ¼ | |
54 | # ¾output_low = ¾low + ¼ - ¼high | |
55 | # output_low = low + ⅓ - ⅓high | |
56 | # This assumes "dumb" resizing (not gamma-correct). For gamma-correct resizing, | |
57 | # or for viewing at 1:1 (which is equivalent to gamma-correct resizing, because | |
58 | # physics, assuming your monitor isn't mangling things), this operation would | |
59 | # have to be done in a linear colorspace. In practice, the vast majority of | |
60 | # resizing implementations are not gamma-correct, so this works. | |

65 | # Now compose both images together using the mask, then set the gamma metadata. | |
66 | # Note that the typical display gamma is 2.2 and image gamma is the reciprocal | |
67 | # 1/2.2. Since we're adding a gamma of 20, we need 1/2.2/20 = 0.022727. | |
68 | # We also force the PNG encoder to include the gAMA chunk (and no other | |
69 | # spurious metadata). | |
