HueScope Separator

Image processing is a common computer activity nowadays, and there are various tools out there specialized in doing the exact thing you’re looking for. For instance, HueScope Separator is the type of program which helps you extract color layers from your pictures in order to create watercolor images.

It takes relatively little time to get it deployed on your computer, with the possibility to have it launched right afterwards. The interface is not something to make it stand out from the crowd, sporting a simple design with a classic window frame in which you work with multiple windows for previewing effects.

Although drag and drop is not supported as an import method, the browse dialog is easy enough to use. You are free to work with pictures that are under formats like BMP, TIF, PNG, JPG, and GIF. You can load an existing region list file (RGL) in order to process the image according to a preset rule package.

On the other hand, the application lets you manually detect and define the color regions to export. The first step of the operation is to start creating separations. This brings up a new window which lets you configure dark, light, and saturation detection in pre-processing, the exact color to separate, whether or not to include outline, and a few more.

You need to create at least one separation to get a result. However, it’s possible to extract multiple colors from the original picture in order to create unique watercolor effects. Moreover, the application also offers an outline detector and editor which can be applied. It too contains a set of tweaks to make it just right for what you want. Needless to say that you can export the resulting picture.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that HueScope Separator is a neat image processing application which helps you create watercolor art out of any picture. You can extract multiple color layers and even add outline to the result.
