Using Node JIMP – POSTERIZE()

Before proceeding to use posterize() functions, please check that the following statements are already executed for setting up the environment.

• npm init -y // Initialising the Node environment

• npm install jimp --save // Installing the jimp dependency

• Create a posterize.js file and copy-paste the following code snippet in it.

• Use node posterize.js to run the code.

Note − The method name should match with the JS file name. Only then it will be able to call the desired method.

Example

const Jimp = require('jimp') ;

async function posterize() {
   // Reading Image
   const image1 = await Jimp.read
   ('/home/jimp/tutorials_point_img.jpg');
   image1.posterize(5)
   .write('/home/jimp/posterize.jpg')
}

posterize(); // Calling the function here using async
console.log("Image is processed successfully");

Output
