The thread subject is a little confusing and it’s also not necessarily what I’m trying to achieve — in other words, if someone can think of another way to achieve the effect I’m after, I’m happy to accept any method.
Here’s what I’m trying to do:
Image a layer with a smooth gradient that goes from yellow to red. Now imagine making a number of small selection on the gradient. Ok, now I want to be able to fill each of those selections with the averaged color contained in it, so that instead of a gradient, there’s now a different solid color in each selection.
I could probably figure out how to do this by hand with a small number of selections. But I’m going to be dealing with a large number, so I need different way to do it.
Another point: I’ve been referring to these as ‘averaged colours’, but it doesn’t have to be that exactly. I don’t mind if I end up with something approximating that, or with just the dominant colour. The important thing for me is to end up with each selection containing a solid colour which is related to the original mix of colors it contained, and to be able to do it automatically.
If anyone can come up with any way of doing this, or offer any hints, whatever the approach, I’ll be very grateful.
Many thanks
Mark
