Two types of gradients, with blue arrows to indicate the direction of the gradient. Light areas indicate higher pixel values A blue and green color gradient. An image gradient is a directional change in the intensity or color in an image. The gradient of the image is one of the fundamental building blocks in image processing.
The gradient is obtained from an existing image and modified for image editing purposes. Various operators, such as finite difference or Sobel, can be used to find the gradient of a given image. This gradient can then be manipulated directly to produce several different effects when the resulting image is solved for.
