How to convert a color image into Red, Green, Blue image in C# using Visual Studio

C# Project

In this project we are learning to convert a color image into Red Green Blue image.

Requirement

For this project we will need Microsoft Visual Studio

Introduction

Converting a color image into green image is very simple. All we have to do is repeat 3 simple steps for each pixels of the image.

  1. Get the G value of the pixel.
  2. Set the R and B value to zero.
  3. Save the new RGB value in the pixel.

Note! As we are converting the color image into Green image hence we are only focusing on the Green component value. When converting the color image to Red image we will consider the Red component. And for blue image we will only consider the Blue component.

Example:

Consider a color pixel with the following values

A = 255

R = 100

G = 150

B = 200

Where A, R, G and B represents the Alpha, Red, Green and Blue value of the pixel.

Remember! ARGB will have an integer value in the range 0 to 255.

So, to convert the color pixel into green pixel we will set R and B to zero.

So, the new pixel value will be

A = 255

R = 0

G = 150

B = 0

Note! We don't have to change the alpha value because it only controls the transparency of the pixel.
