Palette Extract
Palette Extract
Use Palette Extract to derive dominant colors from an input image automatically. It provides a starting palette for stylization, quantization, or downstream remapping.
Availability
This node requires Pro.
Common uses
- Place channel nodes after generators and before final output shaping.
- Use histogram and levels tools to isolate useful ranges for masks.
Input ports
-
input -
Usually expects one image input, with optional secondary inputs for some nodes.
Output ports
-
out -
Outputs modified image or channel data for downstream processing.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Range or values |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colors | int | 8 | 2 to 64 |
| Method | enum | kmeans | kmeans, medianCut, histogram |
| Color Space | enum | lab | rgb, lab |
| Priority | enum | frequency | frequency, vibrance, contrast |
| Sort | enum | luminance | none, luminance, hue |
Behavior
- These nodes remap values rather than creating major new structure.
- Channel operations are useful for converting outputs into mask-friendly ranges.
Common mistakes
- Stacking many remap nodes can flatten contrast unexpectedly.
- Watch channel assumptions when mixing grayscale and RGBA signals.
