Here is a little peek into sampling methods.

Gradient Sampling Methods

Point Sampling

Best for: Sharp, pixel-perfect gradients

Takes the exact color of each pixel without any blending or smoothing. This gives you the most accurate representation of your source image.

When to use:

• Pixel art or low-resolution images
• When you want crisp, hard transitions
• Fastest method

Result: Sharp, sometimes jagged gradients that match the source exactly.

---

Bilinear

Best for: Smooth, natural gradients

Blends between neighboring pixels to create smoother color transitions. This is the sweet spot for most use cases.

When to use:

• Photographs and realistic images
• When you want smooth, natural-looking gradients

Result: Smooth gradients without pixelation, balanced quality

---

Area Sampling

Best for: Noisy or highly detailed images

Averages a 3x3 grid of pixels around each sample point. This reduces noise and creates more stable gradients from busy textures.

When to use:

• Noisy photographs or scanned textures
• Images with fine details that create unwanted speckles
• When you want to reduce color variation

Result: Clean, stable gradients that filter out noise and small details.

Gaussian

Best for: Highest quality, professional results

Uses a weighted blur that emphasizes the center pixel while smoothly blending with neighbors. Produces the highest quality gradients.

When to use:

• When quality is important
• Where detail matters

Result: Silky smooth, professional-grade gradients with subtle detail preservation.

Limitations

Avoid Sampling From 4k or 8k images, it might cause crashes.

If you want to sample from such images simply downscale them to a low-res version.
