All the images shown are created using TrueColor on a live internet connection. As shown also completely new image can be created by completely colorizing an image to make it a canvas to merge other image into.
Since both scripts demonstrated and artwork derive from the same hand, I hope you can appreciate this contemporary form of fusion!
More images can be found in the Allayers Images Archive.
Marianne
This image is made using TrueColor 1.1 Full and a drawing (1999, colorpencil on ingres paper). Using image merging, colorizing and scaling functions I created this poster art.
Running
This first image shows an original gif image.
The second image is a PNG 8, quite similar to gif. The white background is made index transparent using TrueColor.
In TC 1.1 and MyImage there's an 'output' toolbar. Select PNG8 and click on 'Set transparency' to see the Color Finder dialog.
Choose 'select' to see the dragable arrow on the image.
Move this with the mouse to a certain spot and choose 'select' in the Color Finder. It now shows you the RGB value of the specific pixel in the midst of the arrow.
Finally apply either dialog to make the new transparent image.

Time for art
Completely TrueColor based, rotating, scaling, text used.
Composition with artist's hand
A drawing of the right hand (by the left) merged in with several versions of a previously manipulated image.
Some color function results
The left image is the original (oil on cardboard, 1983), the next was gamma-corrected.
The third one is shifted in hue, the next is a black & white version and has a slightly increased luminosity.
Finally the last image adds more light and colorizes (mixes in) with yellow.
How to change contrast
First the original image (water colors on paper, 1984) is grayscaled by setting luminostiy to +100% and saturation to -100%.
The resulting image is used as an overlay: using the merge function at 10% opacity the result is then brightened up by setting luminosity to +10% and red and green to both +5%.
