Evaluate can be an extremely powerful filter when used to its full potential. With it’s sophisticated rule-based evaluations, it can perform more than 50 different image processing operations ranging from color replacement, color inversion, color swapping, grayscale conversion, color clamping, color multiplication and division, color trigonometrical mathematics, pixel blurring, pixel grain, and much, much more.
Any of these effects can be applied to specific color ranges, specific luma ranges, specific color channels or any combination of any of these (and more). Evaluate makes specific pixel targeting and isolation very easy to accomplish, providing the user with extremely precise image processing controls.
