This image is constructed from:
The idea is to superimpose text on an omnichromatic image in a way that the image remains omnichromatic.
A simple approach is adopted in this experiment:
- the base text image is used to determine which pixels are within the text area
- within the text area of the omnichromatic image, the colours of pixels are inverted
- outside the text area of the omnichromatic image, the colours of pixels that match inverted colours within the text area are also inverted
For most images, this transformation is too disruptive for one reason or another, but for this particular image the inverted text looks reasonably neat and the pixels inverted outside the text area also result in a smooth "sandy" impression.
