ImageSubtract

ImageSubtract[image,x]

subtracts a constant amount x from each channel value in image.

ImageSubtract[image1,image2]

gives an image in which each pixel is obtained by subtracting the values of the corresponding pixels in image1 and image2.

ImageSubtract[image,expr1,expr2,…]

subtracts all expri from image, where each expri can be either an image, a number, or a color value.

Details

  • The image returned by ImageSubtract[image,…] has the same dimensions as image.
  • In ImageSubtract[image,x], x can be a number normally in the range 0 to 1, a color, or a list of color channel values.
  • ImageSubtract[image,x] typically gives an image with the same underlying data type as image, clipping or truncating values if necessary.
  • If the image dimensions are different, ImageSubtract[image1,image2] subtracts image2 from the center of image1.
  • If image1 or image2 is a single-channel image, its values are subtracted from the values in each channel of the other image in ImageAdd[image1,image2].
  • If image1 and image2 are both multichannel images, the values in each channel are subtracted separately.
  • ImageSubtract[image1,image2] gives an image with the largest type of either image1 or image2, clipping or truncating values if necessary.
  • ImageSubtract[image,expr1,expr2,…] folds ImageSubtract on the list of arguments.
  • ImageSubtract[{image,expr1,expr2,…}] is equivalent to ImageSubtract[image,expr1,expr2,…].
  • ImageSubtract works with Image3D objects.
