### 8.55. Colorear

The Colorize filter renders the active layer or selection into a grayscale image as seen through a colored glass. You can use it to apply a “Sepia” effect to your image, for example.

| Sugerencia
This filter uses the HSL color model. Previous versions of GIMP included a similar filter, “Colorify”, which used the HSV model instead. That effect can still be reproduced using specific parameters (such as Saturation=1.0 and Lightness=-0.5), or by specifying Saturation=0.0 and applying the color tint as a separate step.

  | Nota
  These options are described in Sección 8.1.2, “Características comunes de los colores”.

Tono

  Which tint to apply to the image. Note that while Hue is normally shown in degrees (from 0 to 360), here it is shown from 0.0 to 1.0. A Hue of 36° would be input as 0.1, for example.

Saturación

  The intensity of the color tint, if any. This is also expressed in a range of 0.0 to 1.0, with 0.0 yielding a grayscale conversion only, and 1.0 applying a pure RGB color tint (of the selected Hue).

Brillo

  The brightness of the result. This is expressed in HSL terms, along a range of -1.0 (black) to 0.0 (normal) to +1.0 (white).

Color

  Using the color button (or the color picker) you can quickly select the color used to colorize your image: selecting a color here will adjust the sliders above to match.

See HSL for more information about Hue, Saturation, and Lightness generally.
