I'm trying to make a set of filters that will change an image to be entirely black, white, and red (I'm trying to make something that resembles the game MadWorld.)

I was able to make the image a very distinct black and white by using NI Threshold and adjusting the threshold until I got the balance I wanted. But now I want to add in red... without taking out the white. I'm not sure how to explain it really...

...

like a three way Threshold kind of thing... if the pixel color was somewhere in this range of colors, make it this color, if it was somewhere in that range, make it that color, and if it's not in either of those, make it default to this.

...

Can I do that somehow?

I was thinking maybe color map can do that somehow... except I don't understand how color map works...

can someone explain how the color map works?

...

Actually, I've been thinking...

maybe instead it would be even cooler if it did something like...

threshold each color channel.

So, if the green value is between 0 and 31, make it 0. If the green value is between 32 and 255, make it 255.

Same with the blue value.

But then don't threshold red at all, so that it comes out with a range of values for red, but only never anything but white or black for anything else.

Edit: Weird...

I did the black and white threshold thing again, then used addition with the same image as I started with... and the resulting image is black and white with a few splashes of brown...

2X Edit: Looking closer... it also has muted greens and blues.

I rather like it. Is there a way to export it?
