What happens when . . .
. . . the same Preset is applied to different-coloured images?

The image colours selected for these comparisons were the customary white plus its reverse, black, together with the three primary colours (Red, Yellow, Blue) and three secondary colours (Orange, Violet, Green).  For the record, here are samples of the colours and their RGB settings . . .

Running these comparisons was an interesting exercise, but no firm conclusions should be drawn from such a small-scale trial.  So much depends on the individual Preset.  Overall, a fair number of the results were very pleasing, and eminently usable for effective graphics. As for the remainder, well, the less said the better.

Observations

For Presets giving strongly coloured results when applied to a white image, there is little difference when images of other colours are used.

Conversely, those giving softer-coloured results when applied to a white image tend to undergo significant - sometimes dramatic - changes when using images of other colours.  Interestingly, the results for some were almost completely overpowered by certain image colours - particularly Orange and Green.

Overall, good proportion of pleasing results, with only a few wipe-outs.

Observations

Quite remarkable!   All the results are rather pleasing - a few extremely so - with perhaps only three or four exceptions.

One significant question which this little group raises is why the results for some presets are virtually identical, regardless of original image colour (e.g. EG-012a on the far left), while for others they show major differences (e.g. EG-012q on the far right).  We still trying to figure this one out.  Does anyone out there have any ideas?
