Color Clip is a GIMP plug-in that darkens/brightens a given percentage of the darkest/brightest pixels in a drawable. The drawable can be a layer, layer mask or channel.
Color Clip works similarly to the GIMP's built-in tool Normalize (Colors -> Auto -> Normalize), except that the black and white clip percentages are adjustable.
In fact, Color Clip with the percentages set to 0% achieves the same effect as Normalize.
GIMP 2.10 is required.
- In GIMP, locate the folder containing GIMP plug-ins - open GIMP and go to Edit → Preferences → Folders → Plug-Ins.
- Copy the
color_clipfolder inside one of the folders identified in step 1.
For Windows, make sure you have GIMP installed with support for Python scripting.
For Linux, make sure you use a GIMP installation bundled as Flatpak (which can be downloaded from the official GIMP page) or AppImage.
For macOS, make sure you have Python 2.7 installed.
Open an image in GIMP, select Colors -> Color Clip... and adjust the clip percentages as desired.
