Image Enhancing in R

2 messages · Lorenzo Isella, Ranjan Maitra

Dear All,
I am not sure that R is exactly the right tool for doing what I have in 
mind, but a look at EBImage and rimage convinced me that this should be 
doable with R.
I have a color image and I would like to do the following: convert the 
image into a grayscale image retaining only the red color (i.e. end up 
with a grayscale image where the only surviving color is red [or any 
color close enough to red]).
Anybody has any idea about how to do that?
Many thanks

Lorenzo

I am not really sure what you mean, but perhaps you want to convert the
image into RGB mode, and zero out the other two (GB) vectors? 

Look up ?rgb and allied functions: may help.
