====== A primer to trichromatic photography ======

Or, the art of taking pics of monochrome devices in color

===== step 1: edit an existing pic to put on your device =====

We'll take this picture:

{{ 0:logo.png }}

In your editing software, you should be able to decompose it in its different channels:

<WRAP group>
<WRAP third column>{{ 0:logo-r.png }}</WRAP>
<WRAP third column>{{ 0:logo-g.png }}</WRAP>
<WRAP third column>{{ 0:logo-b.png }}</WRAP>
</WRAP>

===== step 2: put it on a device =====

Take either some old non-Color Game Boy, a monochrome TI-83, or a e-ink device and find a way to write a ROM, a program, or import each of these three pics on that device.
