DesaturateEffect Class

Summary

Increase or decrease the image saturation based on the given parameter.

Syntax

C++

public class DesaturateEffect : ShaderEffect

  
Public Class DesaturateEffect  
   Inherits System.Windows.Media.Effects.ShaderEffect 
   Implements System.Windows.Media.Animation.IAnimatable

public ref class DesaturateEffect : public System.Windows.Media.Effects.ShaderEffect, System.Windows.Media.Animation.IAnimatable

Remarks

Negative values decrease the saturation of colors. Positive values increase the saturation. The saturation level is increased or decreased by a percentage of its present saturation level. For example, an increase of 20 of the current saturation level "L" will raise the new saturation level "L1" to a value L + 0.20 * L. Likewise, increasing the saturation level 100 doubles the saturation level ( L1 = L + 1.0 * L). Decreasing the saturation level 100 will set the new saturation level to 0. This process is carried out for every pixel.
