IndexedImage Render

What is it for?

• Returning an IndexedImage to ordinary Image nodes
• Previewing the result of replacing its color table
• Connecting it to final output or existing filters

Overview

The output node that converts an indexed image back to a regular Image. After processing colors as indices plus a color table, use this conversion point to rejoin ordinary image filtering, compositing, and export workflows.

Usage tips

• Place it at the end of an indexed workflow: image_to_indexed_image → (color operations) → indexed_image_render → regular image processing.
• The palette input is a temporary override for this render only. To replace the color table in the indexed image itself, use indexed_image_apply_palette. Remembering this distinction makes graph design straightforward.

Related nodes

• image_to_indexed_image — the entry point
• indexed_image_apply_palette — permanently replaces the color table
• preview / blend — common destinations after conversion

Choosing between the nodes

• IndexedImage Apply Palette replaces the color table in the indexed image itself.
• The palette input on IndexedImage Render overrides it only for this render.

Examples

1. Create an indexed image with Image To IndexedImage.
2. If needed, replace its color table with IndexedImage Apply Palette.
3. Convert it back to a regular image with IndexedImage Render.
4. Connect it to Preview, an image filter, or an export node.
