I looked at your article and it is not entirely clear what effect you are after. You say bitonal image, but the description sounds more like a gradient map with two color stops. Alan Greenblatt wrote a little tool that created this kind of effect that is well known from Photoshop: http://blattchat.com/tag/gradient-maps/ He describes it in the following article as well: http://blogs.adobe.com/webplatform/2013/08/06/gradientmaps-js-gradient-maps-for-html/ The little Codepen demo in the second article even lets you define the gradient map with CSS gradient syntax yourself. Is it that what you are after? Greetings, Dirk
