Description
This program scans an image for pixels with rgb values that will give "unsafe" values of chrominance or composite signal amplitude when encoded into an ntsc or pal. This happens for certain high-intensity and high-saturation colors that are rare in real scenes, but can be easily present in synthetic images.
By default the offending pixels are made "safe" by reducing their intensity (luminance) while leaving hue and saturation the same. If one of the -b or -w options is specified, hot pixels are flagged so you can choose other colors.
