Is there a way to convert luma to RGB? It seems to be the only colorspace

My webcam feed goes through various processes to arrive at an edge/outline

If you think about it, how would this work...it's entirely possible

that several RGB colors can convert to the same luma value. You're

mapping a 24bit pixel space to an 8bit pixel space. How would you go

from 8bit to 24bit? If you have several luma values that are the

same, do you map them to the same color? If not, then how do you

choose which value of say 55 luma maps to any particular color? 

You're going to need some more information.

That said, there are 2 ways I can think of for doing what you want...

1->Take your edges and get the colors from the source video at the

same pixel locations. "jit.op @op *" might do this for you

2->Create your own mapping from luma to RGB space based on your needs

and use jit.charmap to process the conversion. I have made an object

that does this if you're curious. It's called xray.jit.colormap

'luma' matrices are only 1-plane matrices, where rgb(+alpha) are 4-plane.

so, just add 4 plane jit.matrix after you're done with luma processing.

to color this matrix, you could simply multiply this gray 4-plane matrix 

with rgb values, using jit.op @op * @val -alpha intensity- -red 

intensity- -green intensity- -blue intensity-

| (after this, you have rgb matrixes, where alpha channel is also 'luma')

or, if you want to leave alpha chanel, you would use @op pass * * *

realy nice thing about jitter is that matrixes are just data, some people 

store music in it, some text, even code. some people use it for images of 

various flavors, you're not constrained to one particular format, like pix.*
