Atlas demonstration: the free source photo and the computed HSV Channel Split. A scenic landscape featuring a dense forest silhouetted against a bright, warm sunset. The analytical frames provide a high-contrast mapping of hue and saturation, clearly distinguishing the intensity of the sky from the dark foliage.

Prompt

Transform this image into an HSV Channel Split visualization with three equal panels showing hue, saturation, and value separately. Render hue as a cyclic color map, saturation as grayscale intensity, and value as grayscale brightness, with crisp detail and no added texture. Keep the original subject and composition within each panel.

Paste it into LetzAI with your own image to apply the effect ↗

Identify

The photo appears as separate channel views, revealing differences in hue1, saturation, and value2.

Principle

The algorithm converts RGB color values into HSV coordinates, then displays each component as a separate map.

Try it out

Compare colorful objects, gray areas, and shadows across the three maps.

Classification

Calculated image processing result.

02 HSV Channel Split, applied to “ForestWaterfall(byJerryAdney)”A lush, green mountain valley with a rocky stream flowing through the center. The four quadrants illustrate how the uniform green tones of the forest are broken down into varied saturation levels and grayscale luminance maps.Jerry Adney (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC0 · Wikimedia Commons

03 HSV Channel Split, applied to “Dan Roizer 2017-05-26 (Unsplash)”An aerial perspective shows a tropical coastline with small boats anchored in shallow turquoise water. The vibrant blue and green tones of the ocean provide a distinct data set for the hue map, creating a sharp contrast with the surrounding landscape.Dan Roizer danny159 (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC0 · Wikimedia Commons
HSV Channel Split, applied to “Highway 212, Lithonia, United States (Unsplash)”
04 HSV Channel Split, applied to “Highway 212, Lithonia, United States (Unsplash)”A scenic view of a long, straight road disappearing into a forest during a warm sunset. The transformation is clearly displayed through the vibrant hue map and the grayscale tonal values that separate lightness from color density.Matt Duncan foxxmd (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC0 · Wikimedia Commons
HSV Channel Split, applied to “Krakow Old Town (Unsplash)”
05 HSV Channel Split, applied to “Krakow Old Town (Unsplash)”A busy city street scene featuring ornate European architecture and pedestrians crossing the road. The process effectively isolates the architectural textures in the value channel while the hue map provides a psychedelic representation of the scene's color range.Ostap Senyuk kintecus (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC0 · Wikimedia Commons
HSV Channel Split, applied to “Pineapple top 1 (Unsplash)”
06 HSV Channel Split, applied to “Pineapple top 1 (Unsplash)”A close-up study of a pineapple set against a dual-toned purple and pink background. The application remarkably demonstrates how saturation and hue components differ, particularly highlighting the intensity of the fruit's skin versus the artificial background.Pineapple Supply Co. pineapple (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC0 · Wikimedia Commons
HSV Channel Split, applied to “Leather sofa in a café (Unsplash)”
07 HSV Channel Split, applied to “Leather sofa in a café (Unsplash)”An indoor setting showing three framed artworks hanging above a dark, tufted leather bench. The tonal separation provides a distinct look at the luminance of the wall surface compared to the chromatic information contained within the frames.The Anchor anchorcoffee (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC0 · Wikimedia Commons

08 HSV Channel Split, applied to “Lauren Mancke 2016 (Unsplash)”A domestic interior featuring a vintage piano, a modern lounge chair, and a patterned rug. The digital decomposition allows for a precise comparison between the warm leather tones and the deep shadows of the room across different maps.Lauren Mancke laurenmancke (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC0 · Wikimedia Commons

09 HSV Channel Split, applied to “White kayak on a river (Unsplash)”A first-person perspective from a kayak traveling down a calm river flanked by dense evergreen trees. The resulting four-way split reveals the high saturation of the kayak's gear in contrast to the muted, overcast sky and dark water.Laura Lefurgey-Smith lauralefurgeysmith (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC0 · Wikimedia Commons
