How It Works

Canvas Pixel Filter Mathematics: Luminance Weighting Grayscale: $Y = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B$ Assigns: $R_{new} = G_{new} = B_{new} = Y$. Sepia Matrix Transform: $R_{new} = 0.393R + 0.769G + 0.189B$ $G_{new} = 0.349R + 0.686G + 0.168B$ $B_{new} = 0.272R + 0.534G + 0.131B$ Invert Transformation: $R_{new} = 255 - R, \quad G_{new} = 255 - G, \quad B_{new} = 255 - B$.
