Auto Gradient Replacement
When a material profile maps a continuous gradient to a finite set of recipes, a smooth area can become several similar bands. Auto Gradient Replacement detects these groups after preview and replaces every colour in a group with the representative colour that covers the most pixels.
Processing order
- Complete normal image processing and material colour matching.
- Analyse gradient-band groups in the preview.
- Select the colour with the largest pixel count in each group.
- Confirm the replacements as a batch and refresh the 2D and 3D previews.
Images with many gradients therefore perform one extra replacement pass after the initial preview, so the final image may appear slightly later.
Default behaviour
The option is off by default. With it off, the raw matched result remains available for inspection in Color Workstation. You can review each detected group and apply the same operation manually, then undo or refine individual changes.
The operation reduces banding caused by a finite recipe set. It does not increase the available colour count and does not change regions that were not detected as part of the same gradient group.
