Theoretically, yes - but it wouldn't be such a good idea, as it would be 
excruciatingly slooooooow!

Hmmm... as I assumed, 180 degrees apart on the hue circle!

See you in Khyberspace!

thanks for that.  image size is not a factor, they're all (much) smaller than
the images you used.  I'm guessing that the image is simply too ill-lit.  fwiw,
I've been converting some music related images, album covers and such, and
include one "favourite".

Interesting -
There are those very noticeable "absent lines" radiating from the center, and
some fainter annular spaces going around.

Makes me wonder how you'd take those missing colors and reconstruct the image
with only those.

Or something like that.  ;)

not always though.  no absent lines apparent in the image Norbert posted on the
13th.

I'm fascinated by how the resulting images always (it seems.  after ~20 tests)
appear different from the expectation.

Me too,

it's a "negative" tool IMHO.
You can easily detect lacking colors.
